The proposed increase in VAT has raised questions about the rising cost of government. South Africa’s government has one of the largest and most expensive cabinets in the world, costing tax payers well in excess of R1 billion per year. We at Free SA argue that reducing the number of ministers and deputy ministers, and government departments could save at least R5 billion annually and improve governance efficiency. Should South Africa trim its cabinet, consolidate ministries, and devolve certain responsibilities to provinces?
