Debt service consumes more South African revenue than health care does

Evidence

Such cases are countless. South Africa spends over 21 percent of its revenue on debt payments. If its creditors were to raise interest rates by one percentage point, the country would owe an extra 7.3 billion rand (over 4 billion US dollars). The state spends 30 percent more on debt interest payments than on health care. — Clara E. Mattei, Escape from Capitalism, 341
