The Portfolio Committee on Public Service and Administration (PSA; Sub-committee) today shortlisted candidates for interviews for the post of Public Service Commissioner at the Public Service Commission board.

The committee advertised the position in September 2020 and received 151 applications from people across South Africa. The committee then shortlisted 19 candidates from these applications, taking into account gender representivity. The shortlisted candidates are: 

Dr Mahlobo Samkelo Edwin

• Ms Mgolomba Zukiswa
• Dr Sesele Kentse Berryl
• Mr Dubazana Themba C
• Ms Maharaj Nalini
• Ms Makhubela Thembekile Phylicia
• Dr Molokwane Pulane Elsie
• Dr Mzamo Ngwadi
• Ms Mosing Mpho
• Ms Nqumbela Okuhle Ndedwa
• Ms Mabitsela Stella Martha
• Dr Fisher Hilton
• Mr Maharajh Avinash Bhanpersad
• Ms Maropefela Kaelo
• Dr Munyai Fhumulani
• Mr Khanyeza Bafo Thomas
• Mr Mashibini Patrick Moeketsi
• Dr Somadoda Fikeni
• Ms Mdletshe Zama Phindile

Although the Constitution and the Public Service Commission Act of 1997 does not prescribe required qualifications, the committee has shortlisted qualified and experienced candidates. This is because the PSC is a knowledge-based organisation producing information that contributes to a participatory and developmental public service.
 
On behalf of the committee, the Chairperson Mr James Tyotyo wishes all shortlisted candidates well for the upcoming interviews scheduled for 2 and 3 November 2020.
