Abstract
A theoretical introduction to Public Finance is presented with a summary of the role which the South African government plays in the economic sphere. In addition, part of survey research data collected by the Department of Sociology, University of Cape Town, has been statistically analyzed in order to discover what demographic factors influence trends in citizen preferences and attitudes towards the allocation of public funds. The hypothesis on which the research was based, i.e. that demographic variables such as sex, marital status, age, income, education and race produce significant differences in public opinion towards the allocation of public funds, has been partly rejected by the findings.
