Legislative & Mandates
1. Constitutional Mandates
In terms of sub-section 125 (1) of the Constitution of RSA, "the executive authority of a Province is vested in the Premier of that Province." Sub-section (2) also provides that the Premier exercises the Executive Authority together with other Members of the Executive Council by:
- Implementing Provincial Legislations
- Implementing all National Legislation within Schedule 4 or 5
- Administering national legislation assigned to the provincial executive
- Developing and implementing provincial policy
- Co-ordinating the functions of the provincial administration and its departments
- Preparing and initiating provincial legislation
- Performing any function assigned by the Constitution or an Act of Parliament
Public Works is a functional area of concurrent National and Provincial legislative competence as stated in Schedule 4 of the RSA Constitution.
The Department of Public Works, Roads, and Infrastructure is therefore the custodian and manager of all provincial government land, buildings, and accommodation requirements.
