NEW LAW ALERT: A New Era for Public Administration South Africa's Public Service Commission Act has been Reformed.

On 16 September 2026, President Ramaphosa signed the new Public Service Commission Act, 2024 into law, repealing the 1997 Act. The PSC confirmed this at its official media briefing yesterday, 20 September 2026 in Pretoria.

What changes?

⚖️Mandate extended beyond national & provincial to include local government and public entities
⚖️Stronger independence with a dedicated Secretariat & CEO v Power to direct implementation and require 60-day progress reports
⚖️Non-compliance now an offence: up to R50,000 fine or 12 months imprisonment
⚖️Phased commencement: 12-month suspension for municipalities/entities, then 3-year progressive rollout The Act is awaiting Presidential proclamation to come into effect.

Now is the time to prepare.

How TEM Global can support you:
As the sustainable governance solutions division of TEM Attorneys, we help organs of state, municipalities and public entities navigate the transition:
• Governance & HR compliance gap analysis
• Policy review aligned to Section 195 & 196 values
• Grievance management & reporting frameworks
• Training for Executive Authorities, MM's & HR Practitioners
• Implementation roadmaps for the phased rollout Build a capable, ethical and Batho Pele-centred institution - before the commencement date is gazetted.

JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED: 3 YEARS WITHOUT ANSWERS💃🏻⚖️🇿🇦💔

Today I mourn not just a colleague, but a sister in law.
Attorney Zanele Precious Nkosi (41) was brutally gunned down outside her office on Klopper Street, Rustenburg on 29 March 2023. Three years later, no arrests. No answers. Her family is still waiting.
When a woman attorney -a Chairperson of the Black Lawyers Association -can be killed in broad daylight leaving her workplace and the case goes cold, what message does that send to every woman in this profession? To every woman in South Africa?
We cannot normalize this. We cannot forget her name.
We stand with the Nkosi family. We demand that this case is not buried.
Rest in Power, Counsellor. We will keep saying your name until justice is served.

This is our build-up to the Official Launch Teaser for our Women in Governance Event | 30 August 2026
