PROF. THOMAS MOGALE
DIRECTOR OF THE WITS
SCHOOL OF GOVERNANCE
The 2014 Annual Report provides a finer understanding
of the School for our stakeholders, by offering a broad
overview of the activities undertaken during the year, and
information on our operations.

As a leading institution in the field of governance, public policy and development management, Wits School
of Governance’s (WSG) mission is to contribute to society and to make a difference by changing the world
for the better. By working with governments and non-governmental organisations, WSG in 2014 remained
loyal to this mission by offering support in crafting national and local public policy initiatives, enhancing
management systems, and strengthening monitoring and evaluation as well as service delivery programmes.
In 2014 the School known as the Graduate School of Public and Development Management (P&DM) since
1993 was involved in an extensive process to re-evaluate and reposition itself in the current South African
and African context. One of the outcomes of this process was the decision to change the name of the school
to the Wits School of Governance. Retaining its lineage of commitment to building capable, developmental
public administrations the school viewed its expanded role as that of exploring how the world works,
analysing regional and global trends, and reviewing practice as a basis for innovation and enabling social
change.
In 2014 the School exceeded the target for student numbers
and had a total of 837 students. During the year the School ran
six Postgraduate Diplomas and Masters degrees in the fields
of Public and Development Management, Governance and
Public Leadership, Social Security, Public Policy, Monitoring
and Evaluation for the Public and Development Sector, and
Security Studies. Additionally the School offered the Masters by
Dissertation and PHD programmes. In 2014 the Research Hub
set up a Writing Centre in order to provide conceptual and writing
support to its Masters and PHD students.
As part of the School’s strategy to improve on degree delivery,
four Knowledge Areas (KA) were established in the fields of
Policy and Governance, Social and Economic Development,
Service Delivery and Operations, and Research Methodology.
These Knowledge Areas were designed to spread the burden of
course delivery, administration, teaching and supervision evenly
among academics, as well as encourage deeper academic
and intellectual engagement within the relevant field/s. Senior
academics were appointed to lead these areas, and each area is
composed of academics with expertise in that knowledge space.
The School earnestly builds national and global partnerships, an
example of which being the exchange programme between Wits
University and the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School
of Public and International Affairs. The School hosted American
students for six months in 2014 while they joined modules across
WSG’s degree programmes achieving credits for their degrees
in Pittsburgh. WSG also facilitated an internship with PLANACT,
where the students contributed their knowledge and skills to the
organisation throughout their stay.
Research output increased in 2014 by 65.5% (admittedly from
a low base) from the previous year, and is poised to rise in the
year to come. Academics published ten accredited journal
articles, seven chapters in books, and presented at numerous
conferences. Further, the School was also commissioned to run
applied research projects with a variety of organisations, such
as designing a more pro-poor bus fare policy for the City of
Johannesburg; design of the Municipal Housing Development
Plan for the City of Johannesburg Housing Department; formation
of the Industrial Suppliers Development Association; development
of good practice cases for the Department of Performance
Monitoring and Evaluation; and conducting an evaluative
assessment of the African Ombuds Research Centre (AORC).
WSG has two research active centres namely the Centre for
Learning on Evaluation and Results Anglophone Africa (CLEARAA) and the Centre for Defence and Security Management
(CDSM). In 2014 CLEAR-AA finalised its contract and secured
funding for the next three years. After an extensive recruitment
process, the centre also appointed a new Director, as well as
a Senior Technical Specialist and Technical Specialist. CDSM
continues to lead research on the Southern African Development
Community (SADC) security challenges in collaboration with
SADC partners, and continues to engage in policy analysis and
capacity building. CDSM is part of the Southern African Defence
and Security Management Network (SADSEM) which comprises
eleven tertiary partner institutions throughout SADC. This network
seeks to contribute to peace and security in southern Africa by
strengthening the democratic management of its defence forces
and other security organs.
03
As part of WSG’s strategy, there was a revitalised focus on
the development of executive education which included the
assessment of the short courses and course offerings, focusing
on the quality of programmes, market needs, positioning of
courses, and the development of high-volume, high-value
courses tied to the overall degree strategy. The School also
carried out a recruitment drive, holding meetings with government
departments, offering invitations to premieres and local
government departments, and direct marketing. This revitalised
focus will ensure that the School increases its third stream
revenue in 2015.
The Executive Education department was also approached by
various organisations to assist them in developing the capacity of
their staff in relation to identified capacity gaps. Examples of the
collaborations that took place in 2014 include partnerships with
the Local Government Sector Education and Training Authority
(LG-SETA), the Johannesburg Road Agency (JRA), and the
Uganda Institute of Management (UMI).
WSG hosted many exciting events throughout 2014. The key
event of the year was the National Development Plan (NDP)
debate series. These debates are run in association with
the Oliver & Adelaide Tambo Foundation, and bring together
stakeholders from the public and private sector, civil society
and academia to explore various aspects of the NDP and how
to move forward ensuring effective, efficient and sustainable
implementation. The first three debates of the nine debate series
were held in 2014, including “Implementing the NDP”, “Exploring
Labour Market and Social Protection as Part of an Inclusive
Growth Strategy”, and “International Relations and Economic
Diplomacy leading to Inclusive Regional Growth?”.
Other events held by WSG included the Governance
Round Table, Cyber Security Colloquium, Ebola Emergency
Preparedness Plan Round Tables, All Africa Futures Forum, SA
Mining and Education Conference, Criminal Justice Lecture
Series, Ben Turok Book Launch, and Breakfast for Justice.
The School also hosted ministers and esteemed individuals for
discussion on business related matters, or as speakers at the
various events. WSG was proud to host prominent individuals
such as Public Protector Thuli Madonsela, Minister of Home
Affairs Malusi Gigaba, Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Fatima
Chohan, Minister of the Department of International Relations and
Cooperation Maite Nkoana Mashabane, and Minister of State
Security Siyabonga Cwele.
WSG continued to strengthen its existing partnerships and
build new ones in 2014.The organisations that the School
partnered with, or who funded projects and programmes
are numerous to mention, examples of which include The
Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa; Kenya School
of Governance; Ghana Institute of Management and
Public Administration; University of Pittsburgh; Oliver &
Adelaide Tambo Foundation; United Nations Development
Programme; Berlin School of Economics and Law;
Centre for Sustainability in Mining and Industry; City of
Johannesburg; etc.
As part of its community work, WSG participated in
Mandela Day, joining forces with the Just Footprints
Foundation. Another form of School outreach is through
the staff members that engage prolifically in all media
platforms, offering analysis and advice on developmental
issues that affect citizens of this country. Staff members
also contribute time outside of the workplace to volunteer
for organisations working in disadvantaged communities.
One such organisation is Uhambo Africa which provides
English lessons and life skills mentoring to children in a
primary school in the Diepsloot informal settlement.
I would like to say thank you to all who contributed their
time, knowledge, support and loyalty to the school. I look
forward to years of continuing contribution to building and
strengthening the public and development sector in South
Africa and African continent.

INTRODUCTION

06
W
its School of Governance (WSG) was established
in the early 1990s with the primary purpose of
assisting in building a post-apartheid public service,
and since its inception, has been at the forefront of an
international movement to transform public and development
management.
Wits School
of Governance
produces visionary
scholars and
practitioners
who advance
governance and
development in
Africa
By continuously developing new knowledge focusing on the complex interface between
government, society and development, WSG has contributed to the creation of more
professional and reflective practices regarding governance in the country, and across the
continent.
In order to achieve its mission, WSG offers academic degree programmes, executive
education programmes, applied research consultancy, and policy analysis. WSG has also
played a pioneering role in using the independent and neutral space of the University to
facilitate interaction between the state, civil society, practitioners, and academia, through
its debate series and platforms for conversation and deliberation.
From 1993 to 2013, the School was known as the Graduate School of Public and
Development Management (P&DM). During 2014 the School undertook an extensive
process to re-evaluate and reposition itself in the current South African and African
context. One of the outcomes of this process was the change of name to the Wits
School of Governance.
The name change allows the School to reflect current thinking whilst retaining its
commitment to building capable, developmental public administrations by providing a
space to explore how the world works, analyse regional and global trends, and review
practice as a basis for innovation and enabling social change. WSG’s niche is located
in the interface between teaching practitioners, exploring practice and developing new
knowledge.
In 2014 WSG celebrated 21 years as the leading School of public and development
management in South Africa, and we look forward to continuing the journey of building
capacity for governance and development in our country and continent.

3. ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES
As a part of WSG’s role to build capacity in the public and development sector, the School offers academic degree programmes for
leaders, decision makers, and practitioners from across the continent. The degree programmes provide access to academics with
practical understanding and knowledge of public and development management, cutting-edge research, and innovative teaching and
learning strategies aimed at enhancing knowledge, professional skills and understanding.
Degree programmes in 2014
Postgraduate Diploma Programmes
The Postgraduate Diplomas are professional postgraduate qualifications designed to improve management and leadership competence
in specific areas. The diplomas are one-year programmes that enhance the knowledge and skills of public sector and development
practitioners.
• Public and Development Management
• Governance and Public Leadership
• Security Studies
• Monitoring and Evaluation for the Public and Development Sector
Master of Management Programmes
The Masters degrees are rigorous academic programmes that provide students with advanced analytical and conceptual abilities.
Coursework includes modules in quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, and literature review and proposal development,
after which students conduct research and produce a dissertation.
• Social Security
• Public Policy
• Public and Development Management
• Governance and Public Leadership
• Security Studies
• Monitoring and Evaluation for the Public and Development Sector
Research Degrees
These degree programmes consist of 100 percent research with no coursework components.
• Masters by Dissertation
• PhD
WSG degree participants conduct research at the coal face, enhancing practice and theory in the public and
development fields.
Examples of Masters research titles:
Hlongwane Khensane: Mineral energy complex on beneficiation policy through the lens of network analysis
Lucia Mtshali:
South African policy on civilian participation in post conflict peace building:
Burundi 2000 – 2008
Nqobizitha Ndlovu:

Ellen Netshifhef:
The impact of China imports on employment in the South African textile industry
In 2014, the School bedded down the delivery of the split Diploma to Masters model of delivery for a range of its degrees. This was the
culmination of a process of curriculum redesign that started in 2012 with a view to splitting the legacy Master of Management into a
Diploma and a Masters. This split allows students to graduate with a Postgraduate Diploma in the event they do not want to continue
on to the Masters degree, thereby accommodating students who would like to gain the skills and knowledge from course work but do
not want to undertake a research project. In 2013, the first delivery of the Diploma portion of the revised model took place, resulting in
the first cohort of the split model Masters students registering in 2014.
In 2015, WSG will be offering an exciting new Postgraduate
Diploma in Humanitarian and Development Management.
WSG uses innovative teaching methods, such as
simulations and case studies, to enhance the learning
outcomes of students.

4. EXECUTIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMMES
T
he Wits School of Governance offers a wide range of
specialised courses designed to meet the needs of the
public and development sector. These courses are flexible and
are designed to allow practitioners to upgrade their skills and
knowledge in specific organisational and management areas.
Short courses are delivered in a variety of models, which include
single blocks of study, block sessions over a number of months,
workshops, breakfast seminars, or a combination of these
models. WSG is able to customise short course models to suit
and meet individual client’s needs.

• Programme and Project Management
• Results Based Management
• Community Development
• Management and Development of Local Government
• Housing Policy Development and Management
• Impact Evaluation
• Social Theory
• Security Sector Governance
• Crime Prevention Management
• Civilian Oversight

Executive Education Collaborations
WSG is often approached by organisations to assist in developing
the capacity of staff in relation to identified capacity gaps. Below
are a few examples of the collaborations that took place in 2014:
Wits School of Governance and the Local Government
Sector Education and Training Authority (LG-SETA)
The aims of this collaboration are to stimulate and strengthen
research development, innovations, skills development, education
and training in the local government sector. To operationalise the
agreement, WSG trained the first cohort of 51 local government
senior management and political leadership responsible for
municipalities’ strategic direction and governance drawn from
across all provinces in the country.
Wits School of Governance and the Johannesburg Road
Agency (JRA)
In order to develop the required capabilities for middle and senior
managers of the Johannesburg metro-based public enterprise,
the JRA placed a significant number of its management staff
in various executive education and development training
programmes.
Wits School of Governance and the Uganda Institute of
Management (UMI)
WSG through the Centre for Learning on Evaluation and Results
(CLEAR) concluded a training and capacity development
programme with the Uganda Institute of Management (UMI). This
programme developed training skills in results-based monitoring
and evaluation, enabling UMI to cope with the rising demand for
post graduate diploma training in Uganda.
WSG has been working in partnership with the ‘Legislative Sector Capacity Building Programme’ that functions under the overall
authority of the Speakers Forum on enhancing the capacity of legislators for the exercise of oversight. The programme is delivered
in close partnership with the National School of Government (NSG). Since 2011 over 230 legislators from across the country have
completed a Professional Certificate in Governance and Public Leadership. Some of these participants have since completed a
Postgraduate Diploma in Governance and Leadership and some are now on the Masters programme at the School. Building on
initial success and a positive evaluation of delivery, over 200 new participants have been accepted for the Certificate to be delivered
in 2015.
As part of its support to public sector training, WSG runs executive education programmes for SASETA, LGSETA, EDTPSETA and
PSSETA on a regular basis.
RESEARCH

5. RESEARCH
Research at WSG
The research vision at WSG is to become a first port of call
for masters, doctoral and professional researchers interested
in learning about how Africa works in the broad arena of
governance, and in particular, how to navigate the politics
of delivering development in Africa’s highly unequal and
impoverished contexts. The primary purpose is to produce
knowledge about how African public and development institutions
are governed and managed.
The Research Hub
WSG has created a Research Hub to provide a supported
research space - for researchers to talk and debate, for staff
to think, reflect and engage, and for practitioners to share their
experiences. This learning space for students, staff, associates
and practitioners aims to improve productivity in the form of
increased publications and graduations.
The Research Hub implements its strategy by:
• Supporting knowledge generation by building research
expertise and capability, writing support, process support and
coaching;
• Facilitating reflection on academic and practitioner
perspectives with the aim of fostering deeper and richer
enquiry through the development and use of research
networks and experienced researchers;
• Providing space for the dissemination and examination of
research through seminars, workshops and conferences as
well as publications in popular media and academics journals.
The Writing Centre
In 2014 the Research Hub set up a Writing Centre in order to
provide additional support to its Postgraduate, Masters and PHD
students. This Centre uses staff, consultants and current students
to provide assistance in conceptual thinking, writing skills,
research methodologies, and the positioning of their research.
With the added support of the Centre from topic formulation
through to the completion of a research report, WSG’s students’
capacity is increased and results and throughput are improved.
Wednesday Conversations
The Research Hub runs Wednesday Conversations that bring
together academics and practitioners to discuss topical issues.
The purpose of these informal conversations is to explore
complexity, and build an understanding of the diverse challenges
and possible solutions that characterise the public domain in
South Africa and Africa. In addition to providing a space for
academics and doctoral students to present ideas, conversations
are also a forum for visiting academics and practitioners to
engage.
Examples of Wednesday Conversations topics in 2014:
Dr Manamela Matshabaphala
Project Integration Management imperative in the
Comprehensive Rural Development Programme
Prof. Pundy Pillay
Sen and Bhagwati: The Development and Growth debate in
India and lessons for Africa

Applied Research Projects at
WSG
WSG undertakes applied social research projects in order to
unravel and resolve problems in the practical world. These
projects are predominantly on behalf of state departments or
state owned enterprises, and provide insight and solutions to
real-world operations, management, and strategy issues.
A FEW EXAMPLES OF PROJECTS UNDERTAKEN IN 2014
ARE PROVIDED BELOW:
Designing a more pro-poor bus fare policy for the City of
Johannesburg
Pundy Pillay, Mike Muller and Mark Orkin
The City of Johannesburg’s Department of Transport requested
WSG to review the current fare policy for its Rea Vaya and
Metrobus services.
The aims of this project were to ensure the development and
implementation of a fare policy that ensures adequate fare
revenue and system viability while promoting equity in terms of
ensuring access by passengers who are both relatively poor and
live at some distance from their places of work.
Design of the Municipal Housing Development Plan for the
City of Johannesburg
Development of Good Practice Cases for the Department
of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation
Thomas Mogale, Simone Smit
The City of Johannesburg’s Department of Housing enlisted
WSG to review the current state of housing in Johannesburg,
and through a process of environmental analysis, case study
writing, consultation and stakeholder engagement, to produce
a Municipal Housing Development Plan. This plan will inform the
department’s strategy over the next five years.
Anne Mc Lennan, Salim Latib, Mike Muller, Mark Orkin,
Hanlie Robertson, Bridget Steffen
Research was conducted on good practice cases for the
Management Performance Assessment Tool (MPAT) which
assesses compliance with management. The project ran across
national and provincial departments integrating quantitative and
qualitative aspects in the overall analysis.
Formation of the Industrial Suppliers Development
Association
Evaluative Assessment of the African Ombuds Research
Centre (AORC)
Nkrumah Kgagudi
WSG conducted the research work that led to the formation,
board appointment and launch of the Industrial Suppliers
Development Association (ISDA).
The ISDA was designed to support government’s plan to use
the ongoing infrastructure programme to stimulate industrial
development and the creation of black industrialists. ISDA intends
to undertake research and to support the implementation of
localisation, transformation and industrialisation programmes
within the supplier communities of state owned companies and
other strategic industry sectors.
Anne Mc Lennan, Salim Latib
This project, funded by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für
Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), conducted evaluative
assessments of AORC which provides research and support to
the African Ombuds and Mediators Association (AOMA).

Centre for Learning on Evaluation and
Results for Anglophone Africa (CLEAR-AA)
CLEAR is a global initiative aimed at strengthening developing
countries’ capacities in monitoring and evaluation (M&E) and
performance management (PM) to support a focus on results and
evidence-based decision-making. The initiative was established in
January 2011 to respond to increasing government and civil society
demands for practical and applied M&E and PM capacity-building,
and to the current limited availability of relevant local evaluation
expertise in many developing countries in several regions.
Six regional centres have been established to work in developing a
critical mass of professional expertise as well as to lead innovation
in M&E and PM. CLEAR AA is housed at the Wits School of
Governance and is a project of Wits University.
The CLEAR initiative responds to the need for creating local
evaluation capacity through two key components: (1) support to
regional centres to develop and provide high-quality, applied, and
cost-effective in-region capacity building programmes; and (2)
global learning to produce innovative materials and enable practical
knowledge-sharing on M&E and PM across regions.
The initiative is being supported by the African Development Bank,
the Australian Agency for International Development, the Asian
Development Bank, the Belgian Development Cooperation, the
Inter-American Development Bank, the Rockefeller Foundation, the
Swedish International Development Agency, the Swiss Agency for
Development Cooperation, the UK Department for International
Development, and the World Bank Group. The secretariat is housed
in the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) of the World Bank Group.
“CLEAR AA is housed
at the Wits School of
Governance
and is a project of Wits
University”.

7. EVENTS AT WSG
OR Tambo Debates on
Implementing the National
Development Plan (NDP)
In 2014 the Wits School of
Governance, in association with
the Oliver & Adelaide Tambo
Foundation, launched the OR Tambo
Debate Series with the purpose
being to consider the interaction
between the vision as stated in the
National Development Plan and
its institutionalised operation. The
purpose of the debates is to shift
entrenched positions, break frames
and enable new perspectives and
implementation solutions to emerge.
The launch of the debate series took
place on July 24th 2014.The theme of
this debate was “How to Implement
the National Development Plan”.
Panellists included Adam Habib,
Jeff Radebe, Neil Coleman, and Nku
Nyembezi-Heita.
The second debate of the series was
themed “Exploring Labour Market
and Social Protection as Part of an
Inclusive Growth Strategy”. Panellists
included Iraj Abedian, Andrew
Donaldson, Mirriam Altman, Trevor
Ngwane and Imraan Valodia.
The following two debates were
supported by a new partner, the
United Nations Development
Fund (UNDP), providing a broader
international perspective and policy
advice.
The last debate in 2014 had the
theme “International Relations and
Economic Diplomacy = Inclusive
Regional Growth?”. The key note
address was given by Honourable
Minister Maite Nkoana Mashabane,
and panellists included Pregs
Govender, Pundy Pillay, Khalid Malik,
and Siphamandla Zondi.
“These debates will lead to the publication of a book
in 2016 edited by Prof William Gumede”.
WSG Governance Roundtable
The topic of this Governance Roundtable was “Local service
delivery: Looking back or moving forward? Exploring the
democracy-delivery paradox”.
The Governance Roundtables are conceptualised as
opportunities to bring together a range of different stakeholders
and viewpoints to discuss complex and recurring governance
challenges. They bring different positions together to deliberate
on the issue in order to move beyond established debates and to
think about new ways forward.
SA Mining and Education Conference
The purpose of the conference was to share some of the groundbreaking results of an in-depth study on the delivery, effectiveness
and impact of the Anglo Platinum and other mining companies’
education programmes in the Limpopo and North West
provinces. The study was conducted to explore and improve
learning outcomes in public schools, particularly in the critical
subjects of maths and science.
The event brought together leaders from government, private
sector, academia and civil society to discuss the implications on
policy, programming, investments, structural reforms and future
partnerships required to address the critical education challenges
in South Africa in support to the National Development Plan.
29
Ebola Roundtables
Three roundtable events took place at the end of 2014 aimed
at developing an Emergency Preparedness and Response
plan to ensure a coordinated and effective response in the
event of an ebola outbreak in South Africa. These multi-sector
dialogues brought together stakeholders representing local and
provincial government departments, civil society organisations
and the private sector. Among the stakeholders were Disaster
Management Departments, Department of Health, Emergency
Medical Services, Provincial Joint Operations, National Institute
for Communicable Diseases, and Private Medical Services
such as Netcare. Medicins sans Frontieres/Doctors without
Borders provided key inputs regarding the challenges they faced
operating in the field in West Africa and recommended Standard
Operating Procedures. The engagements provided the space for
information sharing, coordinated planning, as well as learning on
the response requirements for the outbreak of any communicable
disease.
All Africa Futures Summit: Transforming Africa’s Future
The three-day forum brought together African futurists and
foresight practitioners to explore the foresight issues of the
“discipline of anticipation” that are transforming the way its
practitioners across sectors think about the future of Africa.
Criminal Justice Lecture Series
The Criminal Justice Lecture Series is a joint initiative of the African
Policing Civilian Oversight Forum and WSG’s Crime, Policing
and Criminal Justice Programme. The three-day event was set
up to explore the changing criminal justice landscape and the
implications these changes have for citizens and state actors
as we consider new legislation and policies, legal rulings and
developments in the criminal justice system.
Colloquium on Cyber Security
The colloquium offered a unique opportunity to openly review the
issues and challenges that South Africa faces in cyber security.
The event was run in collaboration with Microsoft South Africa,
and speakers included the Honourable Minister of State Security
Siyabonga Cwele and Managing Director of Microsoft SA Mteto
Nyati.
