It makes sense, how is anyone supposed to sleep at night, knowing that you are a CEO of an organisation that will be responsible for the impoverishment of millions of South African and does not matter how much a person is getting paid, you should have a conscience.

Still i am dissapointed at our Government, they should also resign!

Bloggers - you are using words like "fokof" and "arrogant arsehole" - that is being polite to a guy who gave us a blank document when we asked for details of the contract with the tolling company.

Shows that the ANC is not made of steel - we can topple the looters. And Jimmy Manyi - "get used to it" - opposition to your looting plan is not going away.

Surprising that the board accepted his resignation so quickly. Maybe he was given a choice. Anyhow if he thinks that by resigning, he will be scottfree he is making a mistake, his testimony will be needed when this issue comes to finality.
