Public Service and Administration Minister Ayanda Dlodlo says nearly 900 000 employees have used normal sick leave and incapacity leave since the outbreak of COVID19 in March 2020.

The Department says this has cost the Public Service more than R14-billion for 19 months from March the 28th 2020 to October 31st 2021.

Dlodlo was responding in a written reply to a Democratic Alliance Parliamentary question. The figures she has provided include provincial and national government departments but it excludes State Security and Defence. DA MP Mimmy Gondwe, who asked the question, says it’s also puzzling that most public servants were expected to work remotely during the financial period in question.“In fact, the response indicates that it cost the South African taxpayer R14.3 billion. Now there are an estimated 1.3 million public servants and if you are now talking about now over 800 000, having taken sick or incapacity leave during the financial year concerned.
