Last year they spent R22m on catering and why are you surprised now if they have spent R1m on catering over two months...action should have been taken then. These is the problem across government departments thousands of rands are being spent on food every month - internal catering should be cancelled especially when there are no external parties in those meetings. Government departments should make sure that they lease buildings with bigger boardrooms to accommodate all staff members instead of booking outside venues for staff meetings Report Abuse

Hayi ngoku we are just looking for things to fight. The police department has police acardemies where they have police being trained that means 3 meals a day which means that money will be spent. Food is not cheap its expensive. Now we are pushing it. I am not a ANC supporter and wont vote for them but we should not be fighting them for every small thing. If they need to buy food let them. Are we saying police cant eat now.

Tomorrow they will spend even more. What has happened to all the other so called "investigations"? Remember thousands of cops descended on Bloemfontein from all over the country - millions were spent on food and liquor - FOR WHAT? There are no words left to describe the fat cat hooligans of the anc. I despise them with all in me - not for me but the millions out there who put all their hope on the so called liberators. All the liberated was that filling their corrupt pockets.
And then you still find learners educated under trees - no wonder anc stalwarts and black academics state that life and education under apartheid were light years better.
