requesting department

Requests for ad hoc services involve an email from the requesting department to Director Malatji's office, which acknowledges receipt and follows up for payment vote number details and budgeting.

“The requesting department would send me an email, for example, requesting ad hoc services. I would acknowledge receipt of this email and go back to them to say, colleagues, from which vote number are you going to pay this? They would then come back to me, provide me with the vote number, GL account number, from which they would be paying for these services.”

Deputy Commissioner Umashi Dlamini sent an email on 12 March about engaging the requesting department to persuade the CFO to approve or make funds available for ad hoc duties to avoid overburdening the budget.

“And that email would have been sent on 12 March.”
