The panel van conversion is rife. The star daily newspaper expose' came out a long, long time ago but no action was taken...

Government must stop this thing of building RDP houses, because they can't deliver, build Homes for pensioners, all pensinoners must stay in the homes. It is so sad to see our little brothers and sisters, who work and get paid lots of money but still get an RDP house, unmarried sisters with one child will get a house and what follow is a string of Fatherless kids. Government need to change this strategy, stop wasting money, think BIG

I feel really sorry for Thuli Madonsela. Shes' a very strong woman indeed.

With the amount of filth that has found its way into top positions via the incompetent ANC-govt, she has her work cut out for her. Its an infestation of corrupt roaches.

If its not RDP scandals, its fraud, corruption and theft of tax payers money.

Most of the systemic corruption happens right at bottom of the chain of command.
Most of the people who turn their RDP houses into cash cows by making them rental stock for housing foreigners fight for the house knowing they have no intention of using the house for their housing.
Most people who claim grants fraudulently get the grant after lying their way into a grant.
Most people would rather pay the R1500 bribe to get a driver's licence than be without

@Impela

true

but she has also investigated many high profile cases a couple of which have resulted in her receiving threats in one way or another.

The idea is for her to investigate as few cases as possible because of zero corruption, which is not the case right now is it?

I really like Thuli. She has got a nerve of a cornered lion. Even Mr Zee would be skeptical of removing her from the office due to the citizen outcry that might follow.
