The 2019/20 DoT APP, which documents the policy priorities that the Ministry has set regarding its strategic direction for the transport mandate in South Africa, is presented just after the President delivered his State of the Nation Address, where he defined the agenda and set the tone for the 6th administration. The DoT APP thus is responding to the key pillars of the National Development Plan (NDP) by implementing the vision of an integrated, smart and efficient transport system that supports a thriving economy, and thus aim to promote sustainable economic growth, support healthier lifestyles, provide safe and accessible mobility options, socially inclusive communities and to preserve the environment. To achieve this vision, this therefore requires that we define the kind of transport sector we want to see in the country in the next 50 years, including its role in local, national and regional economic development. The President has given us our marching orders, which require of us to inspire hope through tangible actions that resonate with the dreams and aspirations of our people. Our short, medium and long term actions must be anchored on a vision that is unambiguously spelt out in the National Development Plan. A vision of an emancipated society and a nation capable of investing in its own future. Transport has a big role to play as an enabler of that emancipation. Mobility fuels the economy by enabling movement of goods to markets; movement of people to centres of economic activity; movement of people to access social amenities, centres of learning and health facilities. As we accelerate the pace with which we deliver on our mandate to qualitatively improve the lives of South Africans, we will in the first 100 days of the 6th administration, prioritise the implementation of a number of high impact activities and projects that will deliver tangible, impactful and visible outcomes of our work across all modes. This work is important as it will set the tone of accelerated and focused approach in the sector. This approach will give practical expression to the ‘Thuma Mina’ and ‘Khawuleza’ ethos, which must instill a sense of selfless service and a culture of promptness in responding to the needs of the people. Working in collaboration with other spheres of government, the DoT and its public entities will re-imagine the sector’s contribution to South Africa’s development and economic growth | P a g e II by, amongst others, taking advantage of the opportunities presented by the fourth (4th) industrial revolution and infusing innovation and responsiveness to our style of work. Gone are the days of lacklustre performance, where the interests of the people were at the bottom of the priority list. Our performance must be measured by the extent to which we are able to transform the lives of our people in a meaningful and sustainable way. Of utmost priority for the immediate period will be the articulation of our medium term strategy, anchored on the National Development Plan and repackaged in line with the seven (7) apex priorities. These priorities have been infused into this APP as a bridge towards a revised Strategic Plan for the next 5 years. This approach allows us to sustain continuity on some key and strategic projects, while we simultaneously infuse aggressive change informed by the principle of accelerated service delivery. We will also embark on a process of revising the Department’s service delivery model and also adopt unambiguous standards of performance for quality and durable service delivery. These standards will also set the bar on how we deliver on our mandate. Tangible actions will be the golden thread that permeates through all our activities packaged along the seven apex priorities, premised on the understanding that the focus of this 6th administration is on accelerated implementation, working with all South Africans. These are the priorities towards which our energy and resources shall be directed, and around which we shall build social compacts with all stakeholders. This should then guide all planning and execution of the government’s service delivery mandate across all spheres of government and organs of state. The manifesto of the governing party, which forms the bedrock of the mandate of the 6th administration, is emphatic on transforming the economy to serve all our people and advancing social transformation, amongst other priorities. Transformation of the sector is a key priority which we must pursue with renewed energy. Transformation and integration are the two imperatives that must find expression in everything we do. Unravelling apartheid spatial planning continues to be a priority across all sectors of our economy so that we are able to create integrated communities, lower the cost of living by ensuring that people live closer to centres of economic activity and that public transport subsidies benefit all citizens across modes. The inclusion of the taxi industry in the subsidy scheme can no longer be held in abeyance. We will move with speed in restructuring the subsidy system and make a clean break with the inherited legacy of the Road Transportation Act of 1977. | P a g e III The National
