Annual Report for the 2021/22 Financial Year
Vote 2: Western Cape Provincial Parliament
Part A: General Information

The challenge remains to create a modern, sharp, focused and fully integrated organisa on.
During the year under review, the administra on and I analysed key strategic issues affec ng the
WCPP and did a thorough review of the performance of the WCPP to date. The outcome of the
above would be used to inform the 2022/23 Annual Performance Plan.

Detail of the core business interven ons, enhanced public involvement and public par cipa on
ini a ves and the ongoing implementa on of our digital transforma on strategy will be found in the
plan where a number of key strategic areas received a en on.

We have also established a Directorate for the management of performance informa on and
thereby improving repor ng on our ac vi es.

Key to our performance was the implementa on of a new organisa onal structure approved in
December 2021. This process involved the iden fica on of technological enablers and business
processes as well as an assessment of future skill requirements.

Our interna onal rela ons ac vi es also gathered more trac on in comparison to the COVID - related
constraints experienced during the last two years of repor ng and the WCPP was able to par cipate
in all the forums that we are involved in. Importantly, the WCPP was asked to its response to
the COVID- 19 pandemic at an interna onal professional seminar under the banner of the CPA.

Men on must also be made of the successful launch of our own home grown public outreach and
involvement ini a ve called Thetha Nathi, which was well received by our stakeholders across the
province and which will be refined and enhanced going forward.

I wish to thank the Deputy Speaker for her support and assistance as well as the Secretary to the
Provincial Parliament, Mr Romeo Adams, and the en re administra ve staff for providing
excep onal support under very trying circumstances.

A special word of thanks is extended to staff in the Speaker’s Office under the leadership of Mr
Madoda Mahlutshana (uMiya, uGcwanini), who have once again proven their worth under very
difficult circumstances.
