MBOMBELA, Tuesday, 10 November 2026 — South African Legislative Sector (SALS) Planners and representatives of various fora have gathered in Mbombela – Mpumalanga, today for the SALS Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluation (PM&E) two-day Forum meeting. Chaired by Mr Simanga Khoza, the technical work session is focused on translating the sector’s strategic plan into a practical implementation plan.
Following the adoption of the SALS Strategic Plan by the Speakers’ Forum in June 2026, the Sector is multiplying efforts to effectively translate its ambitious performance targets into practical plans for successful implementation. The PM&E Forum brought together leaders and representatives of sister structures from various clusters in a working session from 10 to 11 November 2026 at the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature.
The chairperson said the two-day session will finalise a consolidated Implementation Plan that includes a process framework and a risk mitigation plan, to minimise barriers and achieve the ideals outlined in the sector strategic plan.
Mr Khoza said, ‘Because the sector strategic plan is crosscutting, inputs from multiple forums are essential to ensure greater ownership by all implementers, alignment with individual legislatures’ priorities, as well as coordinating governance structures.’
He said: “Through this collaborative engagement, the Sector PM&E Forum aims to ensure that the finalized implementation plan is practical, risk-mitigated, and fully aligned across all operational clusters of the sector. By bringing together leadership from Strategy and Governance, Core Business, and Corporate Support clusters, the Sector establishes a unified foundation for tracking progress, strengthening institutional accountability, and effectively delivering on the strategic commitments adopted by the Speakers’ Forum.”
