A widespread perception around #MTBPS2018 today is that there are too many public servants, who're paid too much, & that we can only afford to expand services/investment if these costs are cut back. But check this 👇 thread, & see whether this is in fact correct @Zwelinzima1
Despite having to extend services to a large population historically excluded from many services, the numbers employed by government (local provincial & national) compared to the numbers employed under apartheid has not significantly increased as a share of total employment.
There was a reduction of 203 000 public service jobs between 1995-99. While those cutbacks were subsequently reversed, this was not done on a scale which kept pace with the growth in the economy, the population, or service delivery requirements.
