Public sector job cuts

On Friday, Mail & Guardian editor-in-chief Khadija Patel was on news channel eNCA discussing this week's lead.

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s administration is planning to lay off 30 000 public servants in the next three years as part of the government’s cost-cutting measures.

The move is likely to put Ramaphosa on a collision cause with labour federation Cosatu, which supported his bid to become the ANC president in December.
