the truth hurts chief. we all know those who have little confidence in using their brains run to the ANC for membership and hitch a ride on the gravy train. if he didn't have free loader buddies his bill would have stayed at 8 grand or less.

But we all know how 'cadres' love to floss so he must pay up, matter of fact he shouldn't have lied about 'going to collect the money from his car' and disappear. that is low.

@MsKink seriously how can these ppl who have no ability to manage small finance budgets as person be trusted to manage a large department/provincial budget? I am also angry that when service provider is not paid on time, he can't pay his/her employees, this result in job losses, what in the world is wrong with these ppl's logic and basic common sense?

On a less serious note, I think this is the case where gov tender has bounced, lol

This is my main problem, this guy walks around blatantly buying votes using our tax? just how corrupt is this? cause no doubt the R100 will be claimed from his expenses.

Also its an insult to the black ppl that their dignities are valued at R100.00, the gov should not create jobs or at the very least create a climate conducive to job creation so our ppl do not have to depend on handouts, this is an insult, and i won't take it from zuma or any of these ppl.

Dear Zizi,

Do you know how many small businesses who were doing business with gov in SA had to close doors and let employees go, cause gov pay their bills late or does not pay bills to enable these business to functioning in a competitive business environment?

I am angry with you Zizi cause as direct of irresponsible behaviour by ppl like you our economy has become stagnated, and please don't be a mampara and play a race card cause the business owner rightly so expect you to settle your dues in accordance with the service you have consumed, be reasonable, just maybe most of would not think all of you ningohlohlesakhe,
