The Importance of Race in Government Hiring and Procurement

This report examines the perceptions of registered South African voters on whether they believe that the government should hire people and acquire goods and services regardless of the race of the person being employed or providing the service. The data is based on a survey of 1 412 geographically and demographically representative registered voters commissioned by the Foundation in October 2023. That survey had a national margin of error of 5%. Totals may not add up to 100% where rounding has occurred or where participants could to answer a question.
