Ransomware hitting South African economy hard

Ransomware attacks have been the most prominent form of cyber threat amongst South Africa's private and public sectors, affecting all parts of the economy.

This is according to Minister of the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshaveni, who answered a parliamentary question regarding threats against and breaches of South Africa's cybersecurity.
 
I wonder what the ratio is, private to public. Also, how this would be determined, per organisation, department, people potentially affected, rand impact, and the like.
 
Sounds like the ANC to me, they couldn't achieve much they are better at stealing then they are at protecting anything.
