The implementation of the new structure began in earnest in April 20 19, with the appointment of Africa Chartered Managers, Project Managers for the implementation of the new structure. The employee engagement sessions took place in May 2019, wherein the service provider engaged with employees and labour in all DMSA museums and HQ. In terms of the Transfer and Migration Frameworks for Managers and Non­ Managers, classification, Placement and Objection Committees were established. Issues labour had about the project were addressed and it was agreed that the Frameworks will be revise to accommodate SAPTU's concerns. Management resolved that to, protect the integrity of the process, Managers signed an Oath of Confidentiality, which was drafted by the labour specialist. Progress reports are tabled periodically at the HRREMCO and Council meetings respectively. Management anticipates the completion of th e process, including the recruitmen·r for new positions to be completed by June 2020. e ~I U\f.UM~ 0 ~ SOUTll MRICI\

Forensic Audit

In 20 18, ARIC recommended 1'o Council to undertake a forensic audit of the supply chain management unit for the period April 20 16 to March 2018.

The service was outsourced and ARIC has made several inputs in preparation of the final report being presented to Council in April/May 2020. Post Retirement Obligation

DMSA had a policy to subsidise the post-employment health care costs of employees at retirement. This policy was terminated in 2016.

This applies to 36 retired employees and 104 in-service employees.

Actuarial valuation as at 31 March 2019 is R48 692 000 (2018/19: R52 238 000)

Community Engagement Framework

Council has approved the Community Engagement Framework to: 1. Encourage the development of community participation processes in the management and sustainable conservation of TMC.

2. Promote partnerships between local communities and DMSA, focusing on the economic benefits of this approach for communities.

3. Establish participatory management mechanisms that ensure consultation with local communities before taking any decisions.

• Appoint a Community Liaison service provider to systematically engage with community

• Local community is not a passive partner, but a co-manager of the heritage site.
