Parliament, Tuesday, 24 March 2026 – The Portfolio Committee on Public Service and Administration will tomorrow (Wednesday) receive a briefing from the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) on its appraisal of existing guidelines and advisory services on how the government can strengthen lifestyle audits in the public service.

The Department of Public Service and Administration will also provide committee members with a comprehensive monitoring report on the implementation of guidelines on lifestyle audits in the public service.

These audits are an important lever for strengthening accountability and promoting ethical conduct among public servants. The President first suggested lifestyle audits for the public service during the debate of his 2018 State of the Nation Address. These audits help ensure that public servants’ lifestyles match their income and combat corruption. From 1 April 2022, they became mandatory for all national and provincial departments.

Date: Wednesday, 25 March 2026
Time: 10:00–13:00
Venue: Committee Room S12A, NCOP Building
