How do I fact check something like this, on #GarethCliff's #BurningPlatform (24-06-06, 38min) they are talking to Moeletsi Mbeki and he said, 'The public sector salaries are the highest in the world, costing the country 14% of GDP, compared to amounts closer to 5% in Chile, Indonesia'. He mentions a study which I need to find.
#SouthAfrica's GDP is around 400 USD Billion. 14% is $56 Billion.
