Green Paper Revised
The Revised Green Paper on the National Planning Commission of January 2010 (download linked below) resolves the question of authority as follows:
“Cabinet would be ultimately responsible for adopting a national vision and strategic plan. A clear understanding of how government works as well as independent input that clearly articulates the aspirations of ordinary South Africans are two essential ingredients of this national vision and strategic plan. “
The document is brief and concerns itself with some definitions. In conclusion it says:
“The Revised Green Paper: National Planning Commission is thus now published in the Gazette, proclaiming the establishment of the Commission and inviting nominations.”
The nominations from the public were many and rumoured to be in the thousands, but the names of neither the nominees nor any intermediate shortlist were published, but only (on 30 April 2010) the list of 24 appointed Commissioners, who are:
Bobby Godsell | Mariam Altman | Joel Netshitenzhe | Jerry Coovadia |
Elias Masilela | Chris Malikane | Anton Eberhard | Karl von Holdt |
Jerry Vilakazi | Vivienne Taylor | Bridgette Gasa | Mohammed Karaan |
Noluthando Gosa | Marcus Balintulo | Thandabantu Goba | Tasneem Essop |
Jennifer Molwantwa | Vuyokazi Mahlati | Phillip Harrison | Pascal Moloi |
Mike Muller | Malekgapuru Makgoba | Ihron Rensburg | Vincent Maphai |
The commission has yet to pronounce. Its work is not yet transparent.
Tomorrow we will look at the IPAP2 document.
