It is not correct to say that I have established 25 task teams since becoming President of the Republic on 15 February 2018.
However, a number of advisory councils, commissions, panels and working groups have been established since 2018. Some of these continue to function as per their stated terms of reference, while others were established for a specific purpose and were therefore terminated upon completion of their work and submission of their reports.
The relevant information on these bodies is contained in the reply to NA Question 2292 submitted by Ms S Gwarube (DA) on 10 June 2022.
Cabinet Committees, including Inter-Ministerial Committees, have also been established and there are no costs attendant on these structures. The minutes of Cabinet Committees and Inter-Ministerial Committees are classified.
Where task teams are established, they are generally for a specific time-limited purpose, consist mostly of government officials and do not require additional costs.
Where applicable, the records of the relevant bodies may be obtained from the relevant secretariat departments.
