DEPARTMENT OF TRADITIONAL AFFAIRS

In addition, the Department must ensure that sufficient resources (human, financial and infrastructural) are provided by the State to transform the landscape in the functional domain of the Department of Traditional Affairs. Candidature of persons whose appointment/ transfer/ promotion will promote representivity will therefore receive preference.
