Corruption, nepotism and a bloated public service a concern for Ayanda Dlodlo

Public Service & Administration Minister Ayanda Dlodlo in 2018 warned that the public sector wage bill could cripple the state as salaries for public servants make up 35% of government spending. Three years later, corruption, nepotism, and a bloated public service are still some of the thorny issues she will have to deal with as she returns to the portfolio from heading the State Security Department.

Minister Dlodlo elaborates on the challenges.
