            It is possible to deal with these long-term changes. 
            However, if the is a sudden change in one or more of these factors,
             this might cause a fair amount of instability in the short run. 
                                                                               (Any 2 x 2)    (4)

        Demand-driven business cycle
         It occurs more frequently than a supply-driven business cycle. 
         In a demand-driven business cycle the cause of the business cycle is
           found in changes in total spending. 
         This can be as the result of a change in consumption spending by
           households, investment spending by firms, government spending or
           foreign sector spending. 
         For example: A typical demand-driven business cycle in South Africa
           might, for instance, start when the economic growth rates of our main
           foreign trading partners raise. 
         An increase in their in their economic rates, increases our exports to
           them and their total spending on our goods then increases. 
         This means that an injection into the circular flow has occurred. 
         As the demand for our exports increase, domestic firms produce more
           goods. 
         They therefore employ more factors of production and the income of
           household increases. 
         This leads to a rise in consumption spending and a further rise in
           production and income. 
         The multiplier effect is in operation and expansion phase of the business
           cycle is on its way.                                         (Any 2 x 2)         (4)

 2.5    Explain why a change in injection has a multiplier effect on the level of
        production.

            An injection, such as an increase in exports, investment or government
             spending increases total spending in the economy. 
            This causes an increase in production, which in turn increases
             income. 
            The increase in income then causes an increase in consumption
             spending by households. 
            This increase in spending leads to a further increase in production, which
             increases income again, and a process of an increase in spending,
             production and income continues.                                   (4 x 2)     (8)
 QUESTION 3: ECONOMIC PURSUIT

 3.1    Mention TWO kinds of government interventions in industries.
            Legal 
            Import restrictions 
            Export promotion 
            Grants 
            Tax incentives 
            Loans                                                          (Any 2 x 2)     (4)

 QUESTION 5

 Discuss the necessity for public sector service and problems associated with
 their delivery.                                                                             [40]

 Introduction

 There are many problems associated with the delivery of public goods and services
 and it is important to try and understand how these problems can be eliminated for
 the South African Public Service to become a representative, efficient and
 democratic instrument in order to play its proper role and the reconciliation,
 reconstruction and development process. 
               (Any relevant introduction is acceptable.)                   Max. (1 x 2)

 BODY

 The necessity for the public sector

 A.     To supply necessity goods 

             The public sector, for the greater part of communities, supplies necessity
              goods and services. 
             Although the public sector mostly supplies services, economists generally
              just refer to necessity goods. 
             Necessity goods are further classified into the following:

        (a)    Public goods 

                    Public goods have non-rivalry (the use of a good by one person does
                     not reduce the quantity or quality of goods available to others). 
                    Non-excludability (users who do not pay cannot be excluded) and
                     others not willingly supply by the private sector. 
                    There cannot be a price charged based on use, therefore the private
                     sector will not supply public goods. 
                    These goods are important for the well-being of the community and
                     the public sector then has to supply these goods. 
                    Examples of public goods are defence services, police services,
                     traffic control systems, street lighting and flood control. 

        (b)    Collective goods 

                    It is possible to exclude free riders from using collective goods by
                     levying fees or tolls (free riders are people who use goods or service
                     without paying). 
                    Example of collective goods are parks, beaches, roads, water
                     supply, public transport and garbage removal. 
                    The public sector provides most collective goods. 

        (c)    Merit goods 

                    Merit goods have important benefits to their users and the
                     economy. 
                    Market forces do not reflect the full value of merit goods. 
                    The private sector thus undervalues these products and does not
                     provide enough of them. 
                    The government therefore provide merit goods to ensure that
                     everybody has access to these goods, for example the government
                     provides education to ensure that all citizens have the opportunity to
                     receive an education, because education has many important
                     benefits such as fighting poverty and contributing to economic
                     growth. 
                    Merit goods include libraries, research, education and health
                     services. 
                    Demerit goods are harmful for their users and for the community.
                     The government uses taxes and legislation to discourage the
                     consumption and production of demerit goods, for example
                     gambling, alcoholic beverages and tobacco products. 

 B.     Caring of natural resources

             Our environment includes natural resources such as the air we breathe,
              the beauty of nature that we enjoy and the oceans full of fish. Natural
              resources are not owned by anyone, but are used by all. 
             Negative externalities happen when the execution of a decision by one
              party leads to unintended costs for a third party, who was not part of the
              transaction. For example during production factories cause harmful
              pollution which is a negative externality. Negative externalities have
              negative effects on natural resources and are not also considered by
              businesses. For example, air pollution can cause illnesses such as
              asthma and water pollution can kill aquatic life. 
             The government has to intervene to protect the natural resources by
              limiting the creation of negative externalities, through implementing
              certain laws. 

 C.     Interventions in the economy 

        Government intervenes in the economy to achieve the following:

            The government must create a social legislative environment and which
             individuals and businesses can function to their maximum. 
            The government promotes the effectiveness of the free market and thus
             intervenes to prevent imperfect competition, such as monopolies. 
            The government also influences the allocation of resources. 
            The government must apply suitable economic policies in order to
             achieve macroeconomic objectives such as economic growth, full
             employment, economic equity, price stability and exchange rates
             ability.                                                  (Any 10 x 2)       (20)
                                                                               Maks.        (26)

 In addition discuss problems associated with public sector service delivery
 with special reference to South Africa, and how successful it was.

 A.     Accountability 

           Public servants do not always act in the best interest of the public. The
            public sector is not driven by profit motive and the public cannot choose to
            go to other providers. This can lead to low productivity and lack of
            accountability. Another problem is that public corporations are
            accountable to parliament, rather than to the taxpayers that they serve.
           The South African government supplies free water and electricity, RDP
            houses, free schooling and free hospitalisation. 

 B.     Efficiency 

        Anywhere in the world, the public sector is considered more inefficient than
        the private sector. There are three major reasons for this:

           Bureaucracy and red tape – some officials may be focused on rigidly
            following procedures to the letter instead of considering individual needs.
           Lack of training – civil servants does not always have access to the proper
            skills training required for their positions. 
           Corruption – a lack of proper supervision and lower-than-average wages
            can make corruption and attractive option for some people. 
           In South Africa many cases of nepotism and corruption are under
            investigation.

 C.     Assessing needs and correct planning 

           In the private sector goods and services are supplied in response to
            effective demand. For example, houses are built according to the price
            that people are willing to pay for them. The number and the types of
            houses supplied will depend on the equilibrium price determined in the
            market. 
           In the public sector, goods and services are provided according to the
            needs of citizens. For example, authorities regard housing as a social
            responsibility and supply it according to people’s needs. 
           Public enterprises do not operate under market conditions, so they do not
            have a mechanism to communicate the needs of the consumers to civil
            servants. 
           This creates a problem that can lead to an under-supply of public goods,
            or inefficient forecasting of future needs.
           In South Africa households living in formal houses increased from 5,5
            million to 11 million or by 89,9%.  Households with access to
            electricity increased from 58%–83%. 

 D.     Correct pricing

            It is not always possible to charge the correct market-related price for
             public goods and services because many people would be unable to
             afford these, but should not be excluded from their benefits. 
         Many South Africans benefited by social grants and subsidies. 
         South African government supplies free schooling, and free
             hospitalisation 
        (If only listed 5 – max. 5 marks – any 5 x 1)                          (Any 5 x 2)   (10)

        Conclusion

           Public sector provision of goods and services is very important in South
            Africa in order to try and improve the quality of life of many citizens, as
            well as to increase economic efficiency and development.  (Max. 1 x 2)

 QUESTION 6

 Discuss the different economic growth in development strategies in South
 Africa since 1994. In addition briefly explain how South Africa fiscal policy
 since 1994 has aided development.                                                        [40]

 Introduction

 Different growth and development strategies have been implemented in South Africa
 since 1994, each aimed at addressing particular needs at the time of introduction. 
                                                                          Max. (1 x 2)

 BODY

 A.     The Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) 

          The RDP was an integrated, coherent socio-economic policy framework
           that was implemented directly after our first democratic elections in
           1994. 
         To achieve the development goals of the RDP, South Africa needed a
           sustained growth rate above 6%. 
         It aimed to mobilise all our people and our country’s resources towards
           finally abolishing apartheid and building a democratic, non-racial and non-
           sexist future. 
         The RDP was based on six principles:
           1. An integrated and sustainable programme 
           2. A people-driven process focusing on the needs of the population 
           3. Peace and security for all, aimed at a non-violent society that
                 respects all human rights 
          4.     Nation-building, focusing on the needs of all members of society 
          5.     Linking reconstruction and development 
          6.     Democratisation of South Africa in all aspects, including decision-
                 making processes on all levels. 

         The RDP consisted of many proposals, strategies and policy programmes.
          All of these could, however, be grouped into five major policy programmes
          that were linked to one another. 
         The five key programmes were:
          1. Meeting basic needs 
          2. Developing our human resource 
          3. Building the economy 
          4. Democratising the state and society 
          5. Implementing the RDP 

 B.     The Growth, Employment and Redistribution Programme (GEAR)

           The GEAR built upon the strategic vision set out in the RDP. 
           It reaffirmed the importance of all the objectives of the RDP, but it
            recognised the implementation and macroeconomic problems that the
            government had been experiencing in implementing the RDP. 
           GEAR placed much more emphasis on disciplined economic policy, while
            still recognising that there were very serious needs that had to be
            addressed. 

 C.     The Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative for South Africa
        Programme (AsgiSA) 

          AsgiSA resulted from government’s commitment to half unemployment
           and poverty by 2014.
         The Joint Initiative on Priority Skills Acquisition (Jipsa) was also
           established to address the scarce and critical skills needed to meet
           AsgiSA’s objectives.
         Asgisa identified six important factors that prevented South Africa from
          achieving the desired growth rate:
          1.   The relative instability of the currency 
          2.   The cost, efficiency and capacity of the national logistics system 
          3.   Shortages of suitably skilled labour, and spatial distortions of
               apartheid affecting low-skilled labour costs. 
          4.   Barriers to entry, limits to competition and limited new investment
               opportunities. 
          5.   The regulatory environment and the burden on small and medium
               enterprises. 
          6.   Deficiencies in state organisation, capacity in leadership 

           AsgiSA was not intended to be a government programme, but rather a
            national initiative supported by all the key groups in the economy, namely
            business, labour, entrepreneurs and government and semi-government
            departments and institutions. 

 D.     The New Growth Path (NGP) 

           The current growth plan, NGP was released in November 2011. This plan
            is designed to serve as a framework for economic policy and to be the
            driver of the country’s job strategy. 

        The NGP proposes certain strategies to ensure adequate demand:

            Deepening – the domestic and regional by growing employment,
             increasing income and taking other steps to improve equity and income
             distribution. 
            Widening – the market for South African goods and services through a
             stronger focus on exports to the region and other rapidly growing
             economies. 

        On a macroeconomic level the NGP entails an accommodating monetary
        policy, combined with stricter fiscal policy to limit inflationary pressure and
        enhance competitiveness. Government spending will be prioritised with the
        objective of long-term sustainable employment opportunities. 
        The microeconomic measures to control inflationary pressure include the
        following:

            A competitive policy to supervise monopoly pricing on products and
             services. 
            A review of administered prices to ensure that they do not increase above
             inflation without good reasons. 
            Interventions in the case of rapidly rising prizes of essential products and

 Conclusion

 The different growth and development strategies that have been implemented in
 South Africa since 1994 have all contributed to making our country more prosperous
 and addressing problems created by inequalities of the past. However, problems
 such as a low level of education, unemployment and unequal distribution of income
 persist. The current NGP is a comprehensive policy that is focused on addressing
 all of these problems.                                                (Max 1 x 2)
