Outline three action that the South African government is doing promote equal access to baisc services
Answers
Explanation:
All they are doing is redistribution, not creation. They are enforcing fewer and fewer people to subsidise and pay for more and more people who do not pay for services. Meanwhile the service infrastructure is ageing and in the process of collapse as it was never designed for so many people, Lack of upgrade and maintenance is the last nail in the coffin.
Redistribution does not work. If you tax people more and more they will stop using the service and find alternatives. Look how many people are going off-grid. I am off grid. It now works out cheaper, I don’t have to suffer load shedding and water cutoffs, and I dont have to pay more and more and subsidise more and more people for less and less service. I don’t care anymore about their loadshedding and huge tariff hikes. The more they charge the faster I pay off my off grid system.
Because they insist on subsidising so many people, there is no money left for capital infrastructure. Policies that drive people off grid means that less and less of those prepared to pay are now contributing to as service they no longer want any part of.
