What's the issue?

What's the issue?

I read this post on Facebook, "KZN MEC Kwazi Mshengu confirms the department of education is Renting R90 000 a month for his car and he doesn't see anything wrong. Some People earns R90 000 a year but he thinks its cheaper to spend public funds every month for a car. ANC is not taking us serious, about R1.2 Million a year on Renting a car " So the ranting of one Facebook user went on, the wasteful expenditure continues unabated, the insatiable greed for easy come public funds is not even slowing down.

DA Shadow Minister for Public Service and Administration Dr Leon Schreiber wrote "The Democratic Alliance (DA) can today reveal that, in the 2018/19 financial year, national and provincial governments spent R2.6 billion of public money on bonuses for cadres and millionaire managers. This includes R628 million spent by the national government, and R1.97 billion spent by provinces. These bonuses are paid to cadres in management positions on top of their average annual salary of R1.4 million per year." Did you read that Two point six Billion Rand in bonuses. Where is a WOW Emoji when you need one

Our department of defence is currently fighting a legal battle with numbers of Rands being quoted in the hundreds of millions for aircraft that have never been supplied and a contract mash up that will cost us hundreds of millions or a Billion.

The cupboard is getting more and more bare as we can see now with the SAA strike trying to prevent the inevitable. Jobs will fall, our national carrier will fall, but not one gangster has fallen yet.

Well Johnny Boy (John Steenkamp) gathered up the reins of the DA as their Interim Federal Leader. He has to now try and work with the national shockwave of Madam Zilla coming back from wherever it was she was concealed. The way they shrank back you would swear she had ebola. Johnny speaks such wisdoms, he said in a letter recently "It is spurious to argue that only race-based policies can lift people out of poverty. That is a false choice. We will be a party marked by generosity, empathy, and deep commitment to fighting poverty. Because you cannot live a life you value if you are hungry, poorly educated, live in unhealthy conditions, and fear for your safety."

While he was saying that, the SARS Boss, Refiloe Mokoena, got the boot. She was found to be central in the R420 million VAT refund to the Guptas. But don't be surprised if she resurfaces again somewhere on the political ladder, just like Bathabile Dlamini, dropped from social development like a hot potato, she has now been given the position of chairperson of the Social Housing Regulatory Authority interim board. Jobs for buddies.

Speaking of jobs, Andre de Ruyter's appointment to CEO of Eskom really set the cat amongst the pigeons.

As expected the rape case against Julian Assange was dropped and sadly still no Brexit.
