Overview

The mission of the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Provincial Treasury (KZNPT) is to build a capable, ethical public service by embedding prudent financial management and fiscal discipline. The government’s priorities have carved out a specific role for KZNPT in respect of certain areas of development. The KZN Treasury has the legislated responsibility of mobilising, allocating,  and monitoring financial resources aimed at implementing both national and provincial priorities. This transversal role is performed through leadership and supportive roles. The departmental role is focussed on the achievement of the following priorities: to drive inclusive growth and job creation, and build a capable, ethical and developmental state.

The state of the economy and the country’s financial position dictate that government not only needs to tighten its belt, but it also needs to interrogate its planning in relation to its spending in order for South Africa to achieve alignment and value for money for every cent spent. The Provincial Cost-Cutting Instruction Note approved by Cabinet will also play a significant role in guiding and controlling expenditure. The Provincial Financial Recovery Plan calls for stronger collaboration by all departments, public entities, and municipalities alike, and timely consequence management will be done to enhance accountability and performance.

Ultimately, it is hoped that KZNPT’s aspirations will translate into sustained service delivery in line with the Department's impact statement of "Improved Fiscal and Financial Management in the Public Sector by 2030 through KZNPT's support to enhance service delivery to the KZN citizen".
