The Department of Social Development’s intense attention to the poor, vulnerable, and excluded people in South African society and its commitment to South African’s social transformation are two main reasons for its name change in 2000, from “the Department of Welfare” to “the Department of Social Development”. The Department of Social Development is famous for its Batho Pele (or “People First”) central value that guides its whole organisation and networking system.

Its diverse range of human services, such as advocacy, promotion, prevention, care, mitigation, and palliation, are aimed at freeing people from major social issues, such as harassments or discriminations. Finally, that human development-centred and life-improving services of South Africa’s Department of Social Development will contribute to its grand vision, which is to be a caring and integrated hub for social development services in South Africa.
