As a result of massive cash shortages, 19.5% of Stats SA’s 3 511 posts have been vacant since October 2016, City Press’ sister publication Rapport has revealed.Altogether, 26 posts have been filled by officials who were appointed to act in those positions.
The cash shortage is so perilous that a critical survey on poverty – the Income and Expenditure Survey – was not released last year.If the country loses its ability to collect and publish reliable data, Lesetja Kganyago, the governor of the SA Reserve Bank, will be unable to set the repo rate because the Statistician-General will not be in a position to provide him with the granular consumer price index figure.
Hold on, how do you have a vacancy you have not advertised and font plan to due to budget issues? Maybe it's needed human resources... but vacancies?
Nice ANC must privatise it. They mustn't forget to privatise SAPS also and the home affairs department and water affairs department and all the public hospital's and all the road's we travel on daily.
Hasn't he been warning for years about the threat to the agency's independence? Also the fact that politicians don't see value in the numbers because they don't understand them/they're political numbers, only useful when deployable for political gain. Mess. Killing it Softly.
Why not sell it because it seems like everything is for sale to private sector or they should privacy it ooh I remember it doesn't hv money like other SOEs
I am sitting here thinking SSA is a well oiled machine.
This is very worrying. StatsSA was rated very highly in the world. Top CPI stats rating.

ANC is collapsing everything. They don't have the capacity to run this country.
Another SOE collapsing. Good going ANC.
