THe problem are the senior managers who always come Supply Chain Management with urgent orders. THey want orders to be expediated so that their friends can receive work from government. To work in a supply chain in government its so stressfull everyone wants to intervene.

Wow, well done AGSA. The public has to know where their tax monies are being utilised. It is unfortunate that after this many attempts of assisting the government departments the outcomes are worse than what were in the previous financial year.

Perhaps AGSA needs to get their forensic teams geared up for action so to identify the officials perpetrating such acts within the govt departments and public entities.

This is bad, considering that the National Department should lead by example since they are the custodian of this policies. All the senior manager must also be trained about the procurement processes, it looks like they are clueless. We need expertise in this areas.

This whole mess started by the then President Mbeki by privatising and outsoursing of cretical gorvenment services dept using tendering method. tendering method is a foundation of corupption and financial maladministration.

Imagine working for a security company which is contracted for three years and paying me R1800-00 and expect me to guard goods to the value of millions and they are paid 7 millions per annum. i will help myself too with the goods to increase my salary. people must be employed permanently.

So much for all the over-publicised "plans" and "audit structures" everyone discusses but seems unable to introduce. I find it disgusting that our high ranking officials stoop to robbing our nation in this manner, and let's face it, tthis sort of thing is not done at a low level. The self-styled "creme de la creme" are the ones skimming the thickest cream. Show me an honest ANC-aligned official and you'll be showing a blank page.

The is a national disgrace. The saddest part of all this is that nobody will be held accountable. The blame for the country slipping deeper and deeper into a cesspit of corruption must rest squarely on the shoulders of the President. We elected him to lead us out of our misery but he is doing the just opposite.
