 Submissions
 

What are submissions?

Submissions are a means of communication within the Department.  There are two kinds of submissions, namely submissions that are prepared in response to Ministerial or DG tasks (see the section M&DG Tasks ), and submissions that originate from within the Department. 

Submissions consist of at least a Route Form & Memorandum, in which background information can be included. Draft letters have to be included, if so requested by the Minister or DG.  These submissions are placed in different colored folders, depending on whom they are addressed to.  Submissions addressed to the Minister are placed in brown folders and those addressed to the DG, in green folders, while the Commission on the Restitution of Land Rights, uses blue folders for all their submissions.

How are submissions recorded and controlled?

Once a submission has been submitted by the functionary, it is recorded on the Directorates' database on Microsoft Access, now called the "Voorleggings" control system.

The above system allows the Directorate the scope of being able to record the nature of the submission, who it is from (functionary), who it is intended for (Minister or DG), various important dates, and the comments of the DG and Minister.

The system allows the staff within the Directorate, the ability to search for a specific submission, and look-up all the relevant information relating to the submission.

Ms G Mahlangu is responsible for the registering and tracking of submissions on the system.

.

Is there a standard format for Submissions?


A standard format for submissions has been created, in order to ensure uniformity and a high quality.

The Directorate scrutinises each and every submission to ensure that it conforms to the standard.
