Table 25 and 26 above show personnel numbers and costs by programme and component from 2019/20
to 2025/26. The departmental organisational structure was approved in November 2014 and consisted of

538 posts. The personnel numbers in the department has decreased from 484 recorded in 2019/20 to 460
in 2022/23 due to expiry of contracts and posts that were abolished.

PT has embarked on an organisational structure review to align it to business processes and service

delivery model. The Generic Organisational Structure has been completed and the department is at the
stage of submitting the proposed structure that has 29 newly created posts. Other change management
programmes have been initiated that include leadership development and promoting organisational

culture. These initiatives are aimed at steering the department in the right direction and bring about
improved change in the department.
