In the Eastern Cape government employees are being accused of abusing sick leave to such an extent that it is undermining service delivery.

In the 2010/2011 financial year, 576 employees of the local government department took sick leave.

In the same year R4, 5 million was lost because of 5500 days that were lost to sick leave in the legislature at Bhisho.

A report has found that stress was the fourth-highest cause of absenteeism.
