The Future of Governance in the South African Military
摘要
The Department of Defence (DOD) relies on the business assurance provided by the Defence Inspector General, the Internal Audit and the Auditor General of South Africa (AGSA). The reports emanating from these structures do not seem to make a significant impact on the governance profile of the DOD, generally, and the military, in particular. This calls for a structured approach on how the implementation of their recommendations is rolled out and monitored. Furthermore, it may be necessary to revisit the whole operating model, especially on procurement and acquisition matters. This chapter proffers some of the procurement modalities that may be worth considering for improving the military’s operational performance while complying with the governance requirements as prescribed by the Constitution, legislation, regulations and associated guidelines.
