Our GNU Performance Tracker is a comprehensive index designed to monitor and hold accountable South Africa’s Government of National Unity (GNU). The tracker is aligned with ActionSA’s core values and vision for an inclusive, prosperous, and secure nation.
Each metric in the tracker is measured against a predetermined ActionSA benchmark, informed by government targets, international best practice, and ActionSA policy recommendations. The tracker will be updated regularly, empowering citizens to see where their government is succeeding and where it is falling short.
ActionSA is appalled by the revelations that the Gauteng Department of Education is transferring debt burdens to schools, leaving the already-struggling parents to cover over R300 million debt.
ActionSA welcomes the recent initiative by the City of Tshwane to mandate the insourcing of quantity surveyors and architectural services within its Department Economic Development and Spatial Planning.
ActionSA is concerned that after fruitlessly spending over R1bn on the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State Capture, the government is about launch another process that is reportedly going to cost at least another R1bn.
South African income inequality is amongst the highest in the world. Half of South Africa’s adult population lives below the poverty line, 39.7% of working-age South Africans are without employment, and only four out of ten South Africans under 35 are employed. This, in no uncertain terms, is a national crisis and urgent action is non-negotiable.
The architects of Apartheid reprehensibly constructed the classification of people into race groups, and the legacy of that racial classification remains a significant determinant in an individual’s economic and social prospects in South Africa today.
South Africa remains one of the most unequal countries in the world. The post-democratic government has not only failed to address the painful legacy of our past, but has in fact deepened inequality.
