South Africa’s bloated Cabinet has long been a symbol of wasteful spending and inefficiency. With 72 executive members (Ministers and Deputy Ministers), the government spends millions on salaries, VIP protection, and perks—money that could be better spent on economic growth and service delivery.
The Solution:
FreeSA’s proposed constitutional amendment seeks to limit the Cabinet to just 15 Ministers and 15 Deputy Ministers. This would:
- Save R130 million annually (salaries, benefits, and security costs).
- Reduce bureaucratic inefficiency by cutting overlapping departments.
- Increase accountability with a leaner, more focused executive.
South Africa’s economy has grown by only 0.6% in the last two years, while unemployment sits at a staggering 42%. A smaller, more efficient government is a crucial step toward recovery.
