Treasury plans a new approach to rein in bloated wage bill; government’s plan to tackle money laundering; South Africa’s first mini-nuclear reactor; and Sanral blew millions on Prague trip.
The government has taken a new approach in an attempt to rein in the rising cost of paying public servants: only give increases to frontline and labour-intensive professions. National Treasury has allocated R111.4 billion over the next three years to adjust the pay of public servants in the departments and professions that it deems to be critical, such as education, health, police, defence and correctional services.
The mini reactor planned for rollout in the Western Cape consists of four units — each capable of delivering 80MW of power for a combined output of 320MW. It will be the first of several similar reactors in a 1,800MW network planned for construction over the long term.
