Communications DG gets poor performance rating
The Mail&Guardian was not too complimentary when it came to Shope-Mafole. Her ‘E’ rating translates into "Do yourself and the country a favour — resign."
“In a sector where success can be measured against two key indicators — affordability and accessibility — the Department of Communications under the stewardship of Lyndall Shope-Mafole is having no real impact,” the report said. The lack of action concerning broadband-related issues was also addressed in the report.
“The pledge of more affordable telecommunication and broadband services is a distant promise…South Africans are still stuck with some of the highest telecommunications prices in the world,” the article said.
Shope-Mafole however thinks that she and her department are doing a good job. “Shope-Mafole says she thinks her department has performed well, as opposed to very well, and would rate her performance as a C,” the DG is quoted as saying in the M&G report.
The full report is available online on the Mail&Guardian website.
