The Honourable Lionel Mtshali
Minister-of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology
Dear Minister Mtshali REVIEW OF THE
csm
I have pleasure in submitting a report on the review of the CSIR carried out by the Panel appointed by DACST.
The review was carried out over the period 3 - 17 November 1997, and sought to answer the questions raised by the Department in the Terms of Reference and the description of the overview of the process. The Terms of Reference are attached as Appendix I to the report.
The Panel was made up of the following members:
Dr Gerd Deuster Mr John Hall Dr Bill Howard
Professor Dave Kaplan
Professor John Martin (Chair) Mr Peter Masemola
Dr Ramesh Mashelkar Mr John Moalusi Dr Bert Westwood
Brief CV s are provided in Appendix 2 .
Dr Alistair Ruiters was appointed as a member of the Panel, but unfortunately has not been able to take part to any significant degree.
The review followed a process of consultation and discussion with a wide range of stakeholders and clients, together with the executive and other members of the CSIR itself. The programme is summarised in Appendix 3.
The report does not follow the outline suggested in the DACST overview document. The Panel has chosen to use a format that follows the logical development of its assessment.
However, the sections of the report can be matched to the original chapter headings, and this is indicated in the in the Table of Contents and Executive Summary.
