Johannesburg – Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi has made public the performance agreements of all Members of the Executive Council (MECs).
The premier said the move was aimed at greater transparency and accelerated service delivery.
He publicly released the signed performance agreements for all MECs today, 16 October 2025.
Premier Lesufi said this action fulfils a key commitment he made immediately after the formation of the 7th Provincial Administration under the Government of Provincial Unity (GPU).
It aligns with the government’s pledge to build a capable, ethical, and developmental state that is directly accountable to the people.
The premier said the Performance Agreements were the cornerstone of the provincial government’s performance-driven and results-oriented approach.
They translate the key provincial priorities, including driving inclusive growth, reducing poverty, tackling the high cost of living, and urgently addressing the G-13 priorities such as water security, crime reduction, and electricity stability, into a clear and actionable framework for each department.
The documents outline for each MEC:
- Key focus areas and responsibilities.
- Specific outputs, targets, and performance indicators.
- Detailed key activities and interventions.
- Clear timelines and resource allocation.
“By making these agreements public, we are ensuring that the provincial government is accountable to the people and making sure the residents know what they can expect from each MEC and their department,” explained the premier.
‘The people of Gauteng deserve to know what we have pledged to deliver, and these performance agreements are not just administrative documents but are a social contract between this Executive Council and the residents of Gauteng,”
To ensure proper implementation, Premier Lesufi said he will hold routine progress sessions with each MEC to assess progress, identify blockages, and determine where intervention is needed.
He said the targets outlined in these agreements are legally binding and must be incorporated into the departments’ Strategic Plans, Annual Performance Plans, and Budgets.
A formal midterm review will be conducted after March 2027 to assess progress.
