  • The research traces the expansion of South Africa's national government departments from 1994 to 2014. It identifies three distinct phases: incremental growth under Nelson Mandela driven by democratic transition and public demand; consolidation and centralised steering under Thabo Mbeki; and punctuated expansion under Jacob Zuma, which the author argues was driven largely by patronage and 'runaway state-building'. The paper concludes that the state machinery has become 'functionally splintered', with organisational growth often serving political ends rather than improving policy delivery capacity.
