A new campaign by Free SA is urging Parliament to amend the Constitution to cap Cabinet ministers at 20, warning that coalition politics could drive unnecessary expansion of the executive.
FREE SA launches a campaign for a constitutional cap on South Africa's Cabinet size, arguing that the current structure is costly and inefficient.
The proposal aims to streamline governance and reduce taxpayer burden amid growing concerns over political patronage.
Under the current provisions, the President may appoint any number of ministers from members of the National Assembly.
Free SA believes this unlimited discretion has contributed to the growth of one of the world's largest and most expensive executive structures.
