Government to function normally during mourning period

10 December 2013 By Alan Straton

Government has advised the public that all government services during the week of mourning former President Nelson Mandela will be offered as usual.

“Government remains committed to providing services to all citizens. Whilst, we mourn as a country over the loss of Madiba, services will not be halted,” said Acting Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) CEO, Phumla Williams on Monday.

She said public servants will be afforded the opportunity to be part of the memorial services, without compromising services offered to the public.

The departments will operate during the normal working hours.

Williams said all government employees will be stationed as usual to provide services to the public. – SAnews.gov.za

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
