79Concluding Remarks
Siyabonga
- Overview
- During the period under review the DOD has
managed to maintain a balance in so far as - - Ensuring that appropriate defence
capabilities are provided in order to honour
ordered commitments within available resources. - - Ensuring that sound corporate governance is
enhanced and institutionalised. - -Promoting accelerated service delivery, while
creatively managing the retention of scarce
skills within a highly competitive labour market. - -Finding creative means of developing
sustainable and reliable accounting systems for
its resources.
80Concluding Remarks
- Going forward
- The DOD remains committed to protecting the
integrity of the territory, its people and
borders through diplomacy - Fasttrack the establishment of African Standby
Force for the SADC region, a strategy to
resiliently promote the philosophy of collective
defence as a means to resolve conflict within
the SADC region - Within the available resources, address the
challenges presented by the South Africas
assumption of the non- permanent seat in the
Security Council in pursuit of further
strengthening compliance with international law. - Prioritise the modernisation of the landward
defence capabilities as part of its affirmation
of core business while creatively dealing with
the misalignment between the defence policy and
resource allocation through securing Cabinet
approval of the Update of the White Paper ( 1996)
and the Defence Review ( 1998) and the aggressive
implementation thereof.
81Concluding Remarks
Siyabonga
- Going forward
- The DOD will resiliently embrace the Governments
concerted effort of deepening the Africa Agenda,
leapfrogging strengthening the Africa Diaspora to
realise the vision of a United State of Africa - The DOD will continue to raise its public image
as an organ of state that serves, belongs and
cares and as such an employer of choice
