the conference resolved on the following key actions: • To establish an innovation forum;• To link our investment in research and development to changes in production and consumption in Gauteng’s key economic sectors;• To continually look for ways to promote economic inclusion of start-ups, particularly youth start-ups and township entrepreneurs in the process of building the digital economy; and• To work with the entire education system, from Primary to Tertiary level, to ensure we get the right skills to support new career paths, economic productivity and entrepreneurship.
The Department continued to improve its administrative and management practices, and compliance with policy and legislative requirements. This is evidenced by achieving 91.3%, best in the province on the Management Performance Assessment Tool (MPAT) standards. We also received a clean audit opinion.
At the prestigious Premier’s Service Excellence Awards, the DAV centre obtained a Gold award and the Gauteng Security Operations Centre (GSOC) obtained a Bronze award both awards were in the” Public Private Partnership” Award sub category which recognised successful Public-Private Partnership service delivery projects. The Department having previously won the Gold Award for implementation of the Gauteng Broadband Network.
I would like to thank our Head of Department, Mr Boy Ngobeni, his management team and all staff members of the Department, without whom, we would not have realised such progress.
FOREWORD BY THE MEC
A key focus of the Transformation, Modernisation and Re-industrialisation (TMR) programme of the province is ICT-enabled public service delivery that can improve efficiency and access to public services. To this effect the Department has increased broadband capability through the rollout of the Gauteng Broadband Network. The Department has connected 1181 sites at 100 mbps across the province. The efficiencies that resulted from the rollout of the network include, reduced telephony costs in the province and 98% availability of the broadband network at all connected sites. The Department conducted an ICT As-Is Evaluation of functions and capabilities aimed at determining the status quo of the current ICT in the province. The evaluation report identified several duplications, inefficiencies and weaknesses and provided recommendations to improve efficiencies and realise cost savings. In 2017/18 further progress was made on the implementation of the Common Platform. This platform will allow the people of Gauteng to access a wide range of government services through a single window at times most convenient to them. Currently, there are nine services on the platform and the Department aims to increase the range of services that citizens can access to thirty-two by 2019.
The Department has also implemented a Fully Managed Data Centre (FMDC) for hosting of all departmental data and applications. The FMDC ensures business continuity in the face of a crisis. To date, nine (9) departments have migrated into the GPG private cloud.
The Design and Validation (DAV) centre runs programmes that facilitate digital innovation and entrepreneurship. A total of 10 township developers have been appointed to develop provincial applications and e-services. Six concepts have been tested in this financial year, bringing the total concepts tested to twelve.
In the year under review, Gauteng hosted the Technology Innovation Conference, 2018 under the theme: ‘Building Innovative Technology Ecosystems for a Modernised City Region,’

The major challenges therefore faced by the Department during the year under review have been the delays in procurement process of Phase 2 of the GBN project as well as the migration of departments and entities onto the FMDC.
To mitigate these challenges, the Department plans to ensure that the Gauteng Broadband Network sites will be connected in the new financial year, upon conclusion of the procurement process. The departments not connected to the FMDC now have the necessary infrastructure and mechanisms in place to migrate applications and data to the FMDC in the new financial year.
Gauteng Provincial Government | e-Government | Annual Report 2017/2018
Overview of the Operations of the Department
The Gauteng Department of e-Government has continued its journey to modernise the public service and the economy through Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in line with its mandate and the overall goal of the National Development Plan to create universal access to public services by 2030 through enhancement of efficiency in the delivery of public services.
To this end, many key milestones were achieved in the last financial year: The Department has made significant progress towards achieving its mandate to rollout the Gauteng Broadband Network (GBN) infrastructure and closing the digital divide. During the 2017/18 financial year, the Department rolled out GBN infrastructure to 17 G2C sites, 1 G2B site, 332 G2G sites. To date a total of 1181 sites have been connected to the Gauteng Broadband network. As part of GBN rollout the Department has also embarked on the rollout of the Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) programme. At the end of 2017/18, VOIP was activated in 150 GBN sites resulting in telephony cost savings.
During the year under review the Department supported the township economy by appointing 10 township Application Developers to develop 10 e-service applications. In addition,6 ICT concepts from township entrepreneurs were tested at the DAV centre. The Department furthermore facilitated development of mobile applications to improve efficiency of the provincial government to deliver services.
In the year under review a total of 8 policies and frameworks were developed and approved to establish and strengthen ICT governance in the province. The Department also conducted 1 provincial situational analysis of ICT functions. The objective of the analysis was to
engender a better understanding of the ICT environment in the province. In addition, ICT functions and capabilities were reviewed to establish the status quo of the broadband connectivity and methods of connectivity in the province.
40 Digital ambassadors were appointed and deployed to promote awareness and usage of ICT services offered by the Department. In addition, 8 e-services were promoted through the Premier’s Ntirhisano outreach programme and the Qondis’shishiniLakho campaign. A total of 733,111 users utilised various e-services more than the target of 100,000.
The implementation of the Action Lab strategy resulted in the participation of 81,373 youths in the ICT space. The implementation of the strategy contributed towards employment of the youth, growth of digital entrepreneurship and building of the ICT industry in the townships.
The Department concluded 8 partnership agreements in the year under review and continued to engage partners and stakeholders in the sharing of knowledge, experiences and good practices with a view to enhance efficiency in the delivery of e-services in the province.
The Department processed 100% of the Department’s tenders through the open tender system to improve transparency and to gain public confidence in the Department’s procurement processes. The Department spent 32,54% of its procurement spend on RFQs below R500 000 from township suppliers. Furthermore, the Department paid 98% of its suppliers within 30 days of receiving their invoices.
The Department continued to improve its management practices. The Department achieved 91.3% on the Management Performance Assessment Tool (MPAT) standards
At the prestigious Premier Service Excellence Awards, the DAV centre obtained a Gold award and the Gauteng Security Operations Centre (GSOC) obtained a Bronze award. Both awards were in the” Public Private Partnership” Award sub category which recognised successful Public-Private partnership service delivery projects.
The Department has been mandated to provide broadband connectivity to 3000 Gauteng provincial government sites as well as Thusong Centres, economic zones, and eKasi Labs by the end of the 2019 term. The mandatory requirement to procure ICT products and services through SITA, as per the SITA Act and associated Practice Notes, has extended the time it takes for procurement to be concluded resulting in the Department not meeting its GBN connectivity and migration to the provincial Fully Managed Data Centre (FMDC) APP targets as well as resulting in under-expenditure.

2. STRATEGIC OUTCOME ORIENTED GOALS
The National Development Plan (NDP) offers a long-term perspective and defines a desired destination and identifies the role different sectors of society need to play to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality by 2030.
The long-term plans of the department are aligned with outcomes 3, 6 and 12 of the NDP.
In line with Outcome 6 of the National Development Plan which outlines the strategy for an efficient, competitive and responsive economic infrastructure network. In this regard the provinces have adopted the Transformation, Modernisation and Re-industrialisation (TMR) programme that has 10 Pillars.
The Department has aligned to the provincial Ten Pillar Programme of the TMR, particularly to Pillar 4, Transformation of the State and Governance and Pillar 5, Modernisation of the Public Service. Also, the Department’s, mandate is aligned to the key focus areas of the Governance and Planning Cluster, namely, the creation of a dynamic, proactive and responsive government, and developing an integrated, connected, efficient and smart public service.
The Department’s has 5 Strategic Pillars of its own, aligned to the TMR, namely: • To build an enabling ICT infrastructure for the GCR connected government;• To create the enabling platform and support services to enable GCR entities to design, develop and deliver e-Government
Services;• To establish a GCR e-Government governance structure to drive priorities, policies, standards and regulations; • To promote usage of e-Government services (Citizens, Businesses and Government Entities); and• To stimulate the ICT economy through facilitating incubation and innovation as well as encouraging public private partnerships
for the development and roll-out of e-Government services.
In addition to the recommendations made by the report, the Department of e-Government has engaged with partners in the ICT industry and the higher education sector to explore issues relating to best practices in digital transformation.
Through the implementation of the departmental pillars, the Department realises the achievement of the TMR in the province and the following indicators in the NDP:
• Implement an enabling, coordinated and integrated e-strategy• An ICT sector that enables economic activity• Affordable, widely available broadband for economic and social development• Demand stimulation and job development• The state, market structure and institutional arrangements• Institutional capacity building and competencies
Outcome 12 of the NDP, an efficient, effective and development-oriented public service, addresses poverty and inequality requires a state that is capable and is transformative. This requires well run and effective state institutions staffed by skilled public servants committed to the public good and delivery consistently high-quality service to the public.
2.1. Improving ICT Infrastructure
The foundation for the digital ecosystem is the infrastructural base upon which the ecosystem rests. This infrastructural base consists of the following:
• Gauteng Broadband Network (Wide Area Network (WAN))• Local Area Network (LAN) and Voice Infrastructure• ICT Security • Computing Infrastructure
o Data Centres and Cloud Technologieso Server Infrastructure
• End User Computing Infrastructure (Desktops, laptops etc.)
This requires an effective GPG connectivity network and a range of mechanisms to link to the network. There following are the infrastructure objectives for the ecosystem:
2.1.1. Gauteng Broadband Network (WAN)The Department of e-Government is rolling out the Gauteng Broadband Network (GBN) and has completed Phase 1 of the project. Through Phase 1, the Department has connected 1181 provincial sites, including government sites, Thusong Centres and economic zones in the five (5) development corridors of the province.
Gauteng Provincial Government | e-Government | Annual Report 2017/201823
To Department has engaged SITA to rollout Phase 2 of the Gauteng Broadband Network (GBN), which will realise connectivity to all remaining provincial sites.
2.1.2. Local Area Network (LAN) and Voice Infrastructure
In order to provide end-to-end connectivity, the end-users are required to access e-services and applications through a local area network. The provision of the local area network has always been the responsibility of individual departments. This has resulted in poor LAN provisioning, and resultant services, by departments.
Currently, the Department of e-Government is implementing Voice Over Data as a service on the broadband network. This involves the rollout of Voice infrastructure to enable telephony on GBN. The quality of the telephony is dependent on the quality and standard of the LAN.
It has become clear that the implementation of LAN needs to be a transversal function and rolled out in conjunction with the rollout of the broadband network. This is to be done by the Department of e-Government.
2.1.3. ICT Security
Information security refers to a set of strategies for managing the processes, tools and policies necessary to prevent, detect, document and counter threats to digital and non-digital information. This is a transversal function under the mandate of the Department of e-Government.
As part of its mandate the Department of e-Government has developed the following:
• A GPG cybersecurity policy and strategy.• Implemented a Security Operations Centre (SOC).• Cybersecurity detection and prevention tools.
The Department of e-Government will improve the cybersecurity capabilities of the province and prioritise the development of cybersecurity skills.
2.1.4. Computing Infrastructure
Computing infrastructure is a set of physical and virtual computer resources that are required to run applications and e-services and provide data storage.
The Department of e-Government, as the custodian of centralised computing infrastructure is in the process of migrating departmental applications, e-services and data into a cloud based Fully Managed Data Centre (FMDC).
It is important that GPG’s computing infrastructure can adjust quickly and cost-effectively to accommodate changing demand. For this reason, the Department of e-Government will facilitate the exploration of alternative solutions, including a hybrid cloud model.
2.1.5. End User Computing Infrastructure (Desktops, laptops etc.)
The Department of e-Government has developed Norms and Standards for guiding departments on the purchase and implementation of end-user devices. That will ensure interoperability of applications and e-services.
2.2. Applications and E-Services / Solutions and Systems
Applications and e-services are technology enabled GPG services. The Department of e-Government is mandated to provide and maintain the GPG Common Platform. The Common Platform provides a single window for citizens to access government services. In addition, the Departments is required to facilitate the development and presentation of these services for and on the Common Platform. The Department will:
• Plan, design and implement GPG transversal applications and e-services that are required and used by GPG departments. • Plan, design and implement sector specific applications and e-services on request.• Publish required applications and e-services on the GPG Common Platform.• Facilitate the integration of applications and e-services where necessary.• Develop standards and architectures to guide client departments and entities on how to implement applications.• Continuously assist the client departments and entities in the assessment of its service delivery requirements and to provide advice that will ensure that the client departments and entities receives appropriate services from the Department;• Ensure testing and certification of transversal applications and ICT solutions on behalf of the province.
Gauteng Provincial Government | e-Government | Annual Report 2017/2018 24
2.2.1. E-Service Development and the GPG Common Platform
The development of a common platform for GPG requires alignment and conformity in the configuration of applications. This will also facilitate the sharing of data between departments to allow better and more informed service delivery that will benefit citizens. This may require the review and modernisation of business processes for client department and entities.
To better manage and control the modernisation process and e-service development, the Department of e-Government developed and monitors compliance to the standards for the development and configuration of applications and e-services for publishing on the GPG common platform.
2.2.2. Provide a common platform, applications and e-services to citizens, business, employees, visitors and government.
For GPG to deliver ICT enabled services for citizens, business and government, the Department of e-Government is delivering a consolidated service delivery and access channel capability through the GPG common platform. The Department of e-Government is providing the infrastructure that is needed for the common platform. The platform offers a range of online e-services, and updated government information. This allows citizens to provide information and to engage with government utilising access channels of their choice, e.g. mobile phones, tablets etc.
2.2.3. Promote usage of Government e-services by Citizens, Businesses, Visitors and Government Entities
The Department of e-Government will manage the advocacy of the common platform. All GPG departments will need to continuously communicate with their target beneficiary communities through and about the GPG common platform and e-services. The Department of e-Government will liaise with Office of the Premier on the communication of the common platform and e-services.
2.2.4. Applications Development Support and Testing
The Department of e-Government will continuously assist client departments and provincial entities in the assessment of their service delivery requirements and provide technical advice that will ensure that the client departments and entities receive the appropriate services from the Department.
The Department will also ensure that the testing and certification of transversal applications and ICT solutions is done on behalf of the province.
2.3. Strengthening Governance and Management
The successful development and facilitation of the GPG digital ecosystem requires a high standard of governance and management. Best practice points towards a more centralised approach with high levels of consultation and cooperation. The Department of e-Government will also facilitate and coordinate contracts, business agreements and service level agreements for transversal applications on behalf of the province.
2.3.1. Centralised Support, Management and Monitoring
Effective coordination through more centrally led management will facilitate standardisation, support, monitoring and oversight in respect of the planning and management of the digital ecosystem and of data for better decision making across GPG.
The Department of e-Government is working with GPG departments to develop a system and processes for effective collaboration and consultation on the development, implementation and maintenance of provincial ICT infrastructure, applications and e-services. This includes developing a stratified and tiered approach through which transversal GPG procurement projects will be centralised and implemented by the Department of e-Government.
All ICT procurement, whether centralised or decentralised, will be centrally registered and monitored. This will enable all possible duplications, cost-inefficiencies or deviations from agreed specifications to be pre-empted and addressed and will ensure that procurement is aligned to best practice and approved GPG wide specifications.
2.3.2. Centralised Endorsement and Monitoring of ICT Projects
There is no single overall view of ICT projects or modernisation activities across the GPG. There is an incomplete, inaccurate and out-of-date map of the ICT or ICT-linked projects and programmes throughout the GPG landscape. There is also no accurate updated detailed information about ICT budgets or expenditure across GPG. This leads to poor awareness of the GPG ICT

landscape, inadequate control of the modernisation process, missed opportunities for transversal cooperation and operational challenges such as inadequate ICT infrastructure to support new applications. To align provincial ICT projects, the Department of e-Government will catalogue all current and future GPG ICT projects to monitor and support their implementation.
2.3.3. ICT Capacity and Skills Development
The shortage of skills and capacity needed to drive and sustain digital transformation, modernisation and the effective use of GPG’s ICT resources, particularly and increasingly impact on critical areas such as the data management and cybersecurity of the GPG. In addition, there is a national skills deficit that makes it difficult for GPG to attract and retain specialist skills. The Department of e-Government will therefore develop and facilitate a strategy to implement a GPG-wide programme of skills, competency and capacity building to both improve internal and GPG ICT skills and to attract more young ICT graduates into the province.
In addition, the Department of e-Government will work with the entire education system to ensure that the education system produces the required ICT skills, ensure that experienced people are re-skilled in technological advancements as well as attract the right skills to balance demand and supply of the provincial digital ecosystem.
2.3.4. ICT Function Monitoring, Measurement and Reporting
There is a lack of transparency at a provincial level of the holistic ICT environment in respect of expenditure, resources, technology platforms, applications, services and vendor and supplier contracts. To remedy this, the Department of e-Government will develop and implement a continuous ICT monitoring, measurement and reporting system across GPG departments to identify and react to issues that impact on the overall cost-efficiency of ICT usage in parts of or across GPG.

1. OVERVIEW OF DEPARTMENTAL PERFORMANCE
1.1. Service delivery environment
The Department has continued to implement the Strategic Plan aligned to the provincial TMR pillars. Over the past financial we have continued to play a critical role as a digital enabler by rolling out the Gauteng Broadband Network to enabler both access and the digital economy.
Pillar 1: To build an enabling ICT infrastructure for the GCR connected government
The Department continued to implement the rollout of the Gauteng Broadband Network, increasing the number of sites provided with connectivity to the internet as well as to VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) telephony.
The GPG has a Fully Managed Data Centre (FMDC), which is our baseline Cloud infrastructure. The FMDC houses the provincial data and applications and the Department is facilitating the migration of all provincial data into the FMDC. Cloud computing allows organisations to have business information available and secure at all times. To date, nine (9) departments have migrated into the GPG private cloud. The Department will be migrating the remaining five (5) GPG departments as well as the provincial government entities to the cloud in the next financial year.
Despite numerous cyberattacks and information breaches reported internationally and locally, the Gauteng Provincial Government remains one of the more secure ICT environments. The Department continued to enhance the province’s cybersecurity capability through continued implementation of its internationally benchmarked cybersecurity policy and strategy; Security Operations Centre; and Cybersecurity detection and prevention tools.
Pillar 2: To create the enabling platform and support services to enable GCR entities to design, develop and deliver e-Government Services
The Department has experienced an increase in the demand for the development of e-services. The Department will continue to deliver a consolidated service delivery and access channel capability through the GPG common platform.
Pillar 4: To promote the usage of e-Government services (Citizens, Business and Government Entities)
The Department has started making inroads in this regard and is collaborating with industry partners. Partnerships with these institutions involved the training, development and placement of 81373 township youth.
Pillar 5: To stimulate the ICT economy through facilitating incubation and innovation as well as encouraging public private partnerships for the development and roll-out of e-Government services
The Department of e-Government has identified the shortage of skills and capacity needed to drive and sustain digital transformation, modernization and the effective use of GPG’s ICT resources. This will particularly and increasingly impact on critical areas such as data management and cybersecurity, where there is a national skills deficit that makes it difficult for GPG to attract and retain specialist skills.
The Department conducted an ICT As-Is evaluation. The study has identified limited collaboration and cooperative ICT strategic planning, inadequate ICT skills and capacity to sustain modernization across the province as well as the poor management of ICT budgets and expenditure.
The SITA Act requires that all ICT goods and services are procured through SITA. Both SITA and the Department of e-Government, are required to adhere to the Supply Chain Management (SCM) regulations of the PFMA. To avoid the risk of non-compliance, the Department of e-Government has complied with the legislated procurement process despite the resultant duplicate of procurement processes of complying with PPPFA aligned procurement processes and subsequently, with SITA’s procurement processes. Procurement through SITA attracts additional service charges for the implementation of projects. This has resulted in time delays to the extent that the Department of e-Government has missed its Annual Performance Plan (APP) targets and public commitments.

PART C: GOVERNANCE
1. INTRODUCTIONChapter 13, Section 215(1) of the Constitution states that, “national, provincial, and municipal budgets and budgetary processes must promote transparency, accountability, and the effective financial management of the economy, debt and Public Sector”. The Risk Management directorate is established in the department as a governance structure to ensure that the highest standards of governance are maintained in the utilisation and management of public finances and resources.The Risk Management Committee and the Audit Committee are in place to provide assurance on compliance and governance matters as oversight structures. These Oversight Committees meet at least quarterly in a financial year. The Department has a functional Executive Management Team (EMT) that oversees the effective and efficient management of the Department.
Gauteng Provincial Government | e-Government | Annual Report 2017/2018 42
2. RISK MANAGEMENT
The Accounting Officer (AO) has appointed a Risk Management Committee (the Committee) to assist in discharging the responsibilities pertaining to risk management and related controls. The Committee is chaired by an independent chairperson; and its members are senior officials employed by the department; formally appointed by the AO. The Committee met four times during the financial year to review and provide oversight to risk and ethics management processes. On a quarterly basis, the Chair of the RMC reports formally to the AO and the Audit Committee, escalating matters needing intervention where applicable.
The Department’s risk management is guided by the approved Risk Management Policy Framework. The Risk Management Implementation Plan which details the initiatives and activities of the Department is approved by the Head of Department. The risk assessment of the Department is performed annually and emerging risks are identified on an ongoing basis. The Risk Management directorate follow-ups on the implementation of the risk mitigations plans to ensure that there is implementation, to manage risks and reduce the exposure. Business units own their operational risk registers to monitor and implement the mitigation plans as per the agreed dates. Furthermore, the Audit Committee provides an independent oversight on the effectiveness of risk management in the Department.
3. EMBEDDING RISK MANAGEMENT
The top departmental and operational risk profiles per programme were finalised for the period under review. The RMC monitored risk mitigation progress quarterly. In addition, the Department conducted risk awareness sessions and risk assessments regularly including provision of clear definition of roles and responsibilities regarding management of risks to ensure commitment to effective risk management within the Department. The RMC ensured that the Department maintained and enhanced the maturity level of risk management to ensure the quality, integrity and reliability of the Department’s ERM processes. The improvement in the management of risks has translated into improvement in performance. However, there is room for further improvement.
4. FRAUD AND CORRUPTION
The Department has an approved Fraud Prevention Plan which includes the Fraud Policy and Response Plan. The Plan provides guidelines of activities to be performed by different business units within the Department to prevent, detect and report fraud and corruption activities guided by the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act (PRECCA), to fight fraud and corruption.
Employees were sensitised on the process to follow in reporting fraud and corruption anonymously as per the whistle-blowing policy guided by Protected Disclosure Act.
The Department also complies with administrative justice legislation like Promotion of Administrative Justice Act (PAJA) and Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) by subjecting certain tenders for public awards.
As part of the Prevention measures all Senior managers, Supply Chain Management and other designated officials are subjected to a vetting process. The Department also conducts background checks on all new appointees during the recruitment process.
Chapter 3 of the Public Service Regulations requires that all Senior Management Service (SMS) members declare their financial interests and submit these by the 30th of April of each year and that the Executive Authority should submit these to the Public Service Commission by the 30th of May. The Public Service Regulations (PSR) 2016 extended the requirement for annual financial disclosures interest to include middle management and officials on levels 1-10 employed within Supply Chain Management and Financial Management ‘other designated categories’. The Department complied fully with both the legislated deadlines for the year under review. As part of the prevention measures all senior managers, Supply Chain Management and other designated officials were subjected to a vetting process. The Department also conducts background checks on all new appointees during the recruitment process.
5. MINIMISING CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The revision of Public Service Regulations in 2016 has resulted in changes to the Public Sector Code of Conduct. The Department enrolled departmental officials with the National School of Governance for an Ethics Online Course dealing with the Code of Conduct through their eLearning programme.
6. CODE OF CONDUCT
The Department has an approved Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Policy. The OHS Committee members were appointed. Training has been done for departmental health and safety representatives and first aid kits were replenished during the financial year.
7. HEALTH SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
The Department engaged with the Finance Portfolio Committee on the following matters:• 2017/18 Quarterly Reports• 2016/17 Annual Report• 2018/19 Departmental Vote 13 Budget• GBN Focused Intervention Study
All issues raised by the Committee were addressed through Legislature processes.
8. PORTFOLIO COMMITTEES
The Department obtained a clean audit outcome, there were no prior modifications to audit reports
9. PRIOR MODIFICATIONS TO AUDIT REPORTS
Gauteng Provincial Government | e-Government | Annual Report 2017/201843
The implementation of effective internal control helps in the achievement of the objectives of the Department. Effective controls also ensure sustainable and improved performance, in that potential risks are identified and mitigated to reduce the impact thereof on the performance of the organisation.
On a quarterly basis the Department conducts self-assessment of key controls wherein control deficiencies are identified. Internal Audit also conducts independent reviews, following up on significant audit findings raised by both internal and external audit thereby providing assurance to the Accounting Officer and oversight that controls are being implemented. The Department on an ongoing basis monitors implementation of audit recommendations where control deficiencies have been identified. Through the incident reporting mechanism, it is also able to identify high risk areas requiring strengthening of controls.

Audit Committee and attendance
The Audit Committee consists of the external Members listed hereunder and is required to meet a minimum of at least two times per annum as per the provisions of the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (Act Number 1 of 1999) (PFMA). In terms of the approved Terms of Reference (GPG Audit Committee Charter), five meetings were held during the current year, i.e. three meetings to consider the Quarterly Performance Reporting (financial and non-financial) and two meetings to review and discuss the Annual Financial Statements and the Auditor-General of South Africa’s (AGSA) Audit and Management Reports.

The Audit Committee noted that the Accounting Officer attended all five scheduled Audit Committee meetings. Therefore, the Audit Committee is satisfied that the Department adhered to the provisions of the GPG Audit Committee Charter.
The Members of the Audit Committee met with the Senior Management of the Department, Internal Audit and the AGSA, individually and collectively to address risks and challenges facing the Department. A number of in-committee meetings were held to address control weaknesses and deviations within the Department.
Audit Committee responsibility
The Audit Committee reports that it has complied with its responsibilities arising from section 38(1)(a) of the PFMA and Treasury Regulation 3.1.13. The Audit Committee also reports that it has adopted appropriate formal terms of reference as its Audit Committee Charter, has regulated its affairs in compliance with this Charter and has discharged all its responsibilities as contained therein.
The effectiveness of internal control and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Governance
The Audit Committee has observed that the overall control environment of the Department has continued to improve during the year under review. Some deficiencies in the system of internal control and deviations were reported in the Internal and AGSA Reports. The overall opinion of Internal Audit on the internal control design at the Department is adequate but ineffective.
The Audit Committee also reviewed the progress with respect to the ICT Governance in line with the ICT Framework issued by the Department of Public Services and Administration. Although there was some progress on the ICT internal control, the Audit Committee report its dissatisfaction with the progress made on the formal control over the IT systems as mentioned in the Management Report of the AGSA. Given the mandate of the Department regarding the provisioning of a common ICT infrastructure, the risks relating to cyber security and ICT continuity across the common ICT platform should be constantly guarded against.
The Department did implement the recommendations made by the Audit Committee.
Internal Audit
Internal Audit was effective during the financial year. The Audit Committee is satisfied that the Internal Audit Plan represents a clear alignment with the key risks, has adequate information systems coverage, and a good balance across the different categories of audits, i.e. risk based, standard/transversal, performance and computer audits. From a resource point of view, Internal Audit needs to be equipped to provide assurance on a greater number of risks.The Audit Committee has noted considerable improvement in the communication between the Executive Management, the AGSA and the Internal Audit Function, which has strengthened the Corporate Governance initiatives within the Department. Combined assurance needs to be implemented within the GPG.
Risk Management
Progress on the departmental risk management was reported to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis. The Audit Committee is satisfied that the actual management of risk is receiving attention and that its implementation can only improve with continued support from Senior Management. Management should take full responsibility for the entire Enterprise Risk Management process and continue to support the Chief Risk Officer to even further enhance the performance of the Department.
Forensic Investigations
No forensic investigations were requested for the Department during the financial year under review.

The employees in the Gauteng Department of e-Government are appointed in terms of the Public Service Act, 1999 as amended, read in conjunction with the Public Service Regulations, 2016. The strategic and operational functioning of human resources is governed by at least the following pieces of legislation:
• White Paper on Transforming Public Service Delivery (Batho Pele White Paper);
• Promotion of Access to Information Act, 2000;
• Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act, 2000;
• Skills Development Act, 1998;
• South African Qualifications Authority Act, 1995;
• Labour Relations Act, 1995, as amended;
• Basic Conditions of Employment Act, 1997;
• Employment Equity Act, 1998; and
• Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993.
The Human Resources directorate comprises of the following sub units:
• Human Resource Planning and Organisational Development;
• Human Resource Administration;
• Performance Management and Development; and
• Employee Relations and Wellness.
The primary aim of the directorate is to provide efficient and effective administrative and strategic support through proactive targeted needs-based human resource services to all the units in the Department. The functions of human resources are in line with the outputs of Outcome 12 “An efficient, effective and development oriented public service.”
The overview of Human Resources (HR) matters is driven by the Department’s mandate. The Department, through HR commits to provide and retain adequate skills, sound health and wellness practices and Labour peace, to enhance service delivery.
The Department conducted the skills audit during the year under review, with the aim of identifying and building advance skills, competencies and capabilities that are required to fulfil the Department’s strategic goals. The recommendations thereof will be included in the Human Resource Development Plan and the broader Human Resource Plan in accordance with the Workplace Skills Plan. The focus is on occupations across the Department to address training and development gaps in line with allocated budget and skills development legislation. This contributed to a more skilled workforce and improved performance to enable the modernisation of the Gauteng City Region and service delivery.
The year under review was underpinned by the concurrence of the interim organisational structures by the MPSA and approval by the Executive Authority, resulting in the increase of the vacancy rate to 15%. The optimal focus was on the recruitment of core skills and the alignment of the Department’s structure to the strategic plan and service delivery model.
2. INTRODUCTION
Gauteng Provincial Government | e-Government | Annual Report 2017/201849
The priorities were therefore to create optimal performance of the core business (i.e. ICT) to rightfully capacitate the alignment of the structure in reaching the Department’s objectives.
Change Management is instrumental in inculcating the government’s philosophy on Human Resources to be closer to service delivery points so that contextual issues are considered, in decision making. The Department engaged employee Health and Wellness Programme (EHWP) aiming at psychosocial support in the process of re-organisation as per the interim organisational structure, aimed at achieving the required organisational fit with the service delivery model.
Strategic HR management has it that employee empowerment through delegations of authority is critical for fast-tracked turn-around times in filling posts and other HR related matters.
The Department has aligned its HR delegations to the Public Service Act and Regulations which streamlines current processes and the efficiency around human resource practices. A gradual improvement in the MPAT rating attached to the 8 HR standards as compared to previous year has been achieved.
The following were achieved during the 2017/18 financial year:• The Organisational Interim structure was concurred by the MPSA and approved by the EA;
• The Human Resource Development Implementation Plan and the Monitoring and Evaluation Tool was approved and submitted by 31st of May 2017;
• The Workplace Skills Plan was approved and submitted to the Public Service Sector Education and Training Authority (PSETA) by 30 April 2017;
• Training undertaken was informed by development gaps identified during performance assessments which were captured in the employees’ personal development plans;
• Training and development interventions were undertaken through accredited service providers, including the NSG;
• At least 1% of the training and development budget was spent by the relevant programme managers as a centralised training budget;
• The departmental central bursary budget was allocated to employees informed by the criteria of the departmental bursary policy to improve qualifications at various accredited institutions;
• Skills audit was conducted and the results will be aligned to employees’ personal development plans; and
• The employment equity rate for people with disabilities was met and exceeded which is above the target of 2%.
The following are the challenges faced during the reporting period:
• Critical vacant funded posts could only be filled on finalisation of the implementation of interim structure on PERSAL;
• Women at SMS level constitute less than the prescribed 50% of the filled posts at senior management level; and
• The vacancy rate remained high at 15% which is above the acceptable rate of 10%.
Future Human Resource goals/plans
Finalisation of the e-Government structure that is aligned to the organisation’s mandate to ensure that:
• the Department has sufficient capacity to deliver on its mandate by filling vacant funded posts within the prescribed time frames;
• a representative workforce;
• a vacancy rate of 10% or below, retain staff where required;
• officials attend the Compulsory Induction Programme;
• employees are developed/trained by accredited service providers informed by their personal development plans;
• reduce misconduct and grievances cases and resolving them within the required timeframes and;
• to implement improved employee health and wellness programme that focuses on the holistic wellbeing of employees.

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL TO PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE ON VOTE NO. 13: GAUTENG DEPARTMENT OF E-GOVERNMENT
Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion 1. I have audited the financial statements of the Gauteng Department of e-Government set out on pages 78 to 100,
which comprise the appropriation statement, the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2018, the statement of financial performance, statement of changes in net assets and cash flow statement for the year then ended, as well as the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
2. In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Gauteng Department of e-Government as at 31 March 2018, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Modified Cash standard (MCS) prescribed by the National Treasury and the requirements of the Public Finance Management, 1999 (Act 1 of 1999) (PFMA) and the Division of Revenue Act of South Africa, 2017 (Act No. 3 of 2017) (Dora).
Basis for opinion3. I conducted my audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). My responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the auditor-general’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of this auditor’s report.
4. I am independent of the department in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of ethics for professional accountants (IESBA code) and the ethical requirements that are relevant to my audit in South Africa. I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA code.
5. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.
Responsibilities of the accounting officer for the financial statements6. The accounting officer is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with the MCS as prescribed by National Treasury, the requirements of the PFMA and Dora, and for such internal control as the accounting officer determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
7. In preparing the financial statements, the accounting officer is responsible for assessing the Gauteng Department e-Government’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the accounting officer either intends to liquidate the department or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
8. My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
9. A further description of my responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is included in the annexure to this auditor’s report.
Gauteng Provincial Government | e-Government | Annual Report 2017/201877
Introduction and scope 10. In accordance with the Public Audit Act of South Africa, 2004 (Act No. 25 of 2004) (PAA) and the general notice
issued in terms thereof, I have a responsibility to report material findings on the reported performance information against predetermined objectives for selected programmes presented in the annual performance report. I performed procedures to identify findings but not to gather evidence to express assurance.
11. My procedures address the reported performance information, which must be based on the approved performance planning documents of the department. I have not evaluated the completeness and appropriateness of the performance indicators/ measures included in the planning documents. My procedures also did not extend to any disclosures or assertions relating to planned performance strategies and information in respect of future periods that may be included as part of the reported performance information. Accordingly, my findings do not extend to these matters.
12. I evaluated the usefulness and reliability of the reported performance information in accordance with the criteria developed from the performance management and reporting framework, as defined in the general notice, for the following selected programme presented in the annual performance report of the department for the year ended 31 March 2018:
13. I performed procedures to determine whether the reported performance information was properly presented and whether performance was consistent with the approved performance planning documents. I performed further procedures to determine whether the indicators and related targets were measurable and relevant, and assessed the reliability of the reported performance information to determine whether it was valid, accurate and complete.
14. I did not raise any material findings on the usefulness and reliability of the reported performance information for the selected programme.
Other matter15. I draw attention to the matter below.
Achievement of planned targets16. Refer to the annual performance report on pages 25 to 39 for information on the achievement of planned targets
for the year and explanations provided for the under/ over achievement of a number of targets
Introduction and scope17. In accordance with the PAA and the general notice issued in terms thereof, I have a responsibility to report material
findings on the compliance of the department with specific matters in key legislation. I performed procedures to identify findings but not to gather evidence to express assurance.
18. I did not raise material findings on compliance with the specific matters in key legislation set out in the general notice issued in terms of the PAA.

Report on the audit of the annual performance report
Report on the audit of compliance with legislation
19. The accounting officer is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report. The other information does not include the financial statements, the auditor’s report and those selected programmes presented in the annual performance report that have been specifically reported in this auditor’s report.
20. My opinion on the financial statements and findings on the reported performance information and compliance with legislation do not cover the other information and I do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
21. In connection with my audit, my responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements and the selected programme presented in the annual performance report, or my knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
22. I did not receive the other information prior to the date of this auditor’s report. After I receive and read this information, and if I conclude that there is a material misstatement, I am required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and request that the other information be corrected. If the other information is not corrected, I may have to retract this auditor’s report and re-issue an amended report as appropriate. However, if it is corrected this will not be necessary.
23. I considered internal control relevant to my audit of the financial statements, reported performance information and compliance with applicable legislation; however, my objective was not to express any form of assurance on it. I did not identify any significant deficiencies in internal control.

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL TO PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE ON VOTE NO. 13: GAUTENG DEPARTMENT OF E-GOVERNMENT
Annexure – Auditor-general’s responsibility for the audit
1. As part of an audit in accordance with the ISAs, I exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout my audit of the financial statements, and the procedures performed on reported performance information for selected programme and on the department’s compliance with respect to the selected subject matters.
Financial statements2. In addition to my responsibility for the audit of the financial statements as described in this auditor’s report, I also:
• identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control
• obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the department’s internal control
• evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the accounting officer.
• conclude on the appropriateness of the accounting officer’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements. I also conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Gauteng Department of e-Government ability to continue as a going concern. If I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I am required to draw attention in my auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements about the material uncertainty or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the opinion on the financial statements. My conclusions are based on the information available to me at the date of this auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause a department to cease continuing as a going concern
• evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation
Communication with those charged with governance3. I communicate with the accounting officer regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that I identify during my audit.
4. I also confirm to the accounting officer that I have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to have a bearing on my independence and, where applicable, related safeguards

OUTLOOK FOR THE COMING YEAR
Gauteng Provincial Government | e-Government | Annual Report 2017/2018 140
Infrastructure
The Department will continue to provide access for citizens, business and employees to the available government services. In this regard, the Department will provide connectivity infrastructure through GBN and increase the number of sites connected onto the network. To ensure compliance to the Protection of Personal Information Act, and ensure the safety of citizen, business and employees as they use on-line services, the Department will implement the GPG cybersecurity policy and strategy.
GPG data and applications are hosted in a government private cloud, the FMDC. The Depart-ment aims to migrate all GPG Departments and entities to the FMDC by the end of the 2018/19 financial year.
Applications
The Department will expand the number of e-services available on the Common Platform and design, develop and deliver an expanding range of GCR applications and e-services to improve service delivery to citizens, business, employees and government.
In addition, the Department will promote the usage of Government e-services by citizens, businesses and government entities.
Improving Efficiencies
Government is operating in a fiscally constrained environment where available resources do not match long-term policy aspirations. With limited resources, choices must be made by the province about which ICT activities and programmes can be decentralised to departments. The As-Is evaluation was conducted to identify deficiencies in the management of the digital ecosystem. The Department established a comprehensive data base of ICT applications, projects and contracts for each GPG department complied. The Department will utilise the information to consolidate and standardised applications, ICT projects and contracts through-out the province.
As an outcome of Gauteng Technology Innovation Conference 2018 held in February 2018, the Department will facilitate the establishment of the Provincial Innovation Forum.
Strengthening Governance
To establish generic operational governance guidelines for the province in respect of ICT services, the Department will facilitate monitoring of existing ICT policies and frameworks as well as development of a big data strategy that will guide the collection, processing and use of this important resource for government and all other partners in the innovation ecosystem. In addition, the Department will focus on the formulation of a cyber-security task team that will coordinate all elements to prevent and combat cyber security threats to our ecosystem.
Through the establishment of the Department, the province has practically demonstrated its resolve to exploit the economies of scale principle to its fullest potential in the ICT environ-ment. In this way the province aims to streamline provision of e-services and therefore reduce unnecessary replication across departments and create efficiencies in the system. Furthermore, the consolidated ICT e-services into the Department of e-Government will create a single centre of excellence that services all departments. It is also indicative that uniformity in respect of policies and practices must be fostered across departments as part of modernisation of the public service.
