The Alternative Information and Development Centre has indicated that it is considering bringing litigation to challenge the constitutionality of what it described as Ramaphosa’s “neoliberal austerity measures”.

According to the AIDC, neoliberalism latches on to fiscal crises to reduce the number of public servants and decrease their wages among other regressive economic measures. ”It was wrong to do so. If admitted as amicus curiae, the AIDC will argue that the Constitutional Court should steer clear of this ideological pitfall. Neoliberalism has not place in crafting just and equitable court orders,” reads the affidavit.

”If admitted , the AIDC will demonstrate that pitting greedy public servants against the deserving poor is a central tenant of neoliberalism used time and again to justify shrinking the public sector down to a minimum set of tasks while maximising the private sector’s role in an economy,” the centre added.
