Any individual (in the public or private sector) intending to apply for a senior management position in the public sector after 31 March 2020 should enrol for the course. This also applies to those senior managers within the public sector who wish to progress within the senior management service. Mchunu has advised that no-one will be appointed as a senior manager in the public service without having completed the compulsory online course with effect from 1 April 2020.
In the 2019, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that in order to strengthen the capacity of the state, the NSG would introduce a suite of compulsory courses, covering areas such as ethics and anti-corruption, senior management training, etc. The Nyukela Pre-SMS course forms part of the suite.
