  2. GOVERNMENT PRINTING WORKSROLE The role of the Government Printing Works is summarised in its vision : “To be the State’s Mandated Security Printer” This it has effectively achieved over the past 5 years, but this has still to be ratified in legislation The details of this role are encapsulated in the mission of GPW : • To provide cost effective, reliable and timeous services in security printing to all spheres of Government • To provide the public with valuable information • To disseminate Government information through technology, innovation and service excellence

  3. GOVERNMENT PRINTING WORKSMANDATE The GPW was founded in 1888 and is 126 years old. The GPW derives its legislative mandate from the Public Service Act of 1994, as amended in 2007. Before 2009 the GPW had been a sub department of the Department of Home Affairs. On 9 October 2009, the Ministers of Finance, Home Affairs and Public Service and Administration approved the business case for GPW, and it became a Government Component (Government Gazette 32616). This was always intended as a transitional phase on the way to becoming a State Owned Company. A Government Component is defined as “a national or provincial government component” as set out in section 7(1) and 7(2)(c) [column 1 of Part A of Schedule 3] of the Public Service Act Nr 103 of 1994 (as substituted by the Proc 59 Government Gazette 32566, 11 September 2009).

  4. MANDATE The GPW is an institution within the Public Service with the Department of Home Affairs as its principal national department. It is a “specialized service delivery unit” for government within the Public Service. In the case of GPW the special service delivered is security printing services primarily for the Department of Home Affairs : producing passports, ID books, smart ID cards, birth certificates, visas, and licences. The GPW also provides general printing services for government, supplies stationery for government departments, and produces the Governement Gazette. The CEO of the GPW reports directly to the Minister of Home Affairs. GPW operates on regular business principles, having to defray all its expenditure from the revenue generated by services rendered. It ceased to receive government subsidies 2 years ago The GPW has doubled it turnover (R781 million in 2013/14) since being established as a government component in 2009. GPW fully supports the objectives set out in the National Development Plan and specifically Chapter 13 on building a capable and developmental State.
