   What the people of this country need is for improvements in infrastructure and the delivery of water and electricity and hopital care and education, etc. – what ANC government officials are doing about this is next to nothing. They get luxury cars to show off to the rest of us – I wonder what they actually use these expensive cars for?

   Why do the other 8% disagree? Are they the ones receiving these luxury cars and other perks?

   Pammy, I wonder what proportion of employed people work for the state? 8% perhaps?

   Pammy and Bill – these are both interesting comments.

   According to the latest Labour Force Survey (2009 Q4), 16% of employed adults work in the public sector. Similarly, the Futurefact survey reveals that 16% of employed (urban) adults work in the public sector.

   Futurefact shows that 94% of urban adults employed in the private sector agree with the above statement. For those employed in the public/government sector, the proportion is actually 96%!

   If this has to average out at 92%, then it is the unemployed (==> non-tax-payers) that don’t seem to be too angry about this. Strange. While it’s not their money that’s being wasted, it is money that could better be used to help them get a job.
