Abstract
Recent overhauls of the South African government's ruling machinery, i n the context of an ever-deepening commitment to neoliberal economic p hilosophy, have done serious, even irreparable harm to this country's political transformation. Notwithstanding some progress in policies ad opted by the Department of Health, the March 1996 closure of the Recon struction and Development Ministry and the subsequent announcement of a neoliberal macroeconomic policy have been cause for disgruntlement b y those advocating progressive social and health policies.
