Transforming Government since 2001
South African Telecommunications and Postal Services Minister Siyabonga Cwele has said that plans are in place to introduce “eGovernance”, a more technological way to deliver services to citizens in the country.Briefing Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Communications on Thursday, the minister said it was important for frontline ministries such as Home Affairs and Transport to go digital in order to do away with long queues and unnecessary paperwork during their operations.

“The key process that we think will have impact on our operations is the whole concept, without going into details, of eGovernance. By eGovernance, we are saying we must move beyond the connectivity of certain institutions. The focus in the past has been on the connectivity of some schools,” he said.

The minister noted that the plan was to ensure that key government ministries that have public interface with the people are connected in the long term.

Cwele said some of the services that could be improved by introduction of e-Governance included the applications for smart IDs and licence disk renewals.

He said there would also be a focus on making sure that there was connectivity in schools, rural areas and informal settlements communities.
