The book examined the state of service delivery by
the South Africa public service. In this
respect, selected South African public service
organizations where examined using the case
study and triangulation approaches. It was evident
that conventional approaches of
leadership, have singularly failed in their
application by the South African public service. It
was also clear that there where weaknesses of
governance principles in aspects of the public
service. It was evident that sustainable public
service delivery by the South African public
service required a consideration of local narratives
and local issues that needed to be
integrated within the current leadership and
governance framework. The findings indicated
that traditional African leadership and governance
values have not been fully integrated by
South African public service organizations. The book
suggests that traditional African
leadership and governance values (particularly moral
and ethical leadership and good
governance principles) can positively influence the
South African public service. A
transformative African leadership and governance
model was thus devised for adoption by
the South African public service.
