Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has denied that government is using the financial crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic to reduce the headcount in the public service.

Godongwana continued: “In the current case there is clear evidence of the fact that the Covid-19 fiscal crisis is not being used as a basis for reducing the headcount of public servants.”

“Any notion that public servants should not earn a decent wage is entirely alien to the government’s approach to this matter,” Godongwana explained. The centre also cautioned the Constitutional Court against being swayed by political ideologies in its determination of the salary dispute between the government and its employees when it hears the matter, later this month.”AIDC’s proposed arguments are unhelpful in that its deponent is not qualified to make averments on the expert economic and fiscal issues attempted to be raised,” wrote the Office of the State Attorney, which is representing Godongwana.

”Coherent ideological arguments of the sort contended for by the AIDC would require – at minimum – extensive evidence about the rationale underpinning the government’s chosen policy agenda,” the office explained.
