The digital era is rapidly transforming the way governments operate, demanding a new level of agility, adaptability and digital literacy within the public sector. The Public Sector ICT Forum, taking place on 28 October under the theme, Digital literacy and leadership for public service excellence, will bring together leaders, civil servants and ICT professionals to address how digital skills and leadership can drive excellence in service delivery. This important gathering will highlight the growing need for a digitally enabled workforce, capable of managing technology-driven governance processes while embracing a culture of innovation within the KZN province.

From building capabilities in data analytics and cybersecurity to embedding digital governance principles, the event will provide practical strategies for enhancing skills and strengthening resilience. Sessions will explore change management frameworks, leadership approaches to sustaining innovation, and case studies of successful digital transformation in government.

This critical forum is designed as both a learning and networking platform, offering you, the participant, the opportunity to exchange ideas, share best practices, and co-create solutions that will define the future of public service. By focusing on digital competence, cultural transformation, and leadership accountability, the event aims to empower the public sector to accelerate South Africa’s journey towards a connected, secure, and citizen-first government.
