Parliament, Monday, 27 May 2025 – The Portfolio Committee on Public Service and Administration will receive a briefing from the department tomorrow, Wednesday, 28 May 2025, on introducing new reforms to eliminate ghost employees and consequence management in the public service.

In his budget speech recently, the Minister of Finance, Mr Enoch Godongwana, announced that the government will initiate a data-driven approach to detecting payroll irregularities that will replace the more costly method of censuses. This initiative will cross-reference administrative datasets to identify ghost workers and other anomalies across government departments.
