Auditor General Terence Nombembe has found that secret service funds were used to pay for a wall built around Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa's private home.
Yet another thief uncovered. More will be uncovered no doubt. Now watch Nombembe get villified or booted out. He is on par with Thuli. Report Abuse

Classic politician's strategy or rather shenanigans, 1st deny having any knowledge of corruption, when caught out, deny being corrupt, when caught out, deny having been involved in the said corrupt activity, when caught out, plead ignorance (e.g. I did not read the documents), when caught out, say it’s a smear campaign aka sabotage aka third or dark force aka the media aka western imperialists , when caught out, accuse members of your own party of seeking to destroy your "good name" (debatable), when caught out, if you fall in favour with the master get yourself a re-shuffle/redeployment if not and about to face prison, fake a chronic illness. That’s the M.O. Report Abuse

Nombembe said on Friday he however found no evidence that Mthethwa had been aware of the source of the funding and that the minister was therefore not implicated in a policy breach.

The entire government's civil service should be placed in administration. Auditors should step in and find out the state of our financial economy. We cannot go on like this, every week there is a story about govt ministers and civil servants being corrupt. The country's finances would be better off run by independent and accountable financial advisors. We need a Marshall Plan for SA Report Abuse
Now this is what we call taking people for granted!!! Is the literacy levels so low that poor civilians are expected to swallow that crap and move on??? Who on earth can have an expensive wall built around their place of residence without knowing the source of the funds???

For a high ranking police official not to know what is going on around him demonstrates he is not suitable to do efficient police work. It appears he did not bother to inquire whether or not the wall being built around his premises would be have to be paid by him. How on earth did he qualify for his coshy job?

I stand to be corrected on the exact amount but Ministers are given an amount of much less than R200-000 for all security upgrades at their private homes according to the PFMA and Ministerial Handbook.

Till this corrupt criminal anc government has put the secrecy bill into our throat we still can, FORTUNATELY, rely on the efforts of our media and enjoy in this collapsing country: THE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.
We must help the media by informing them what we know and make efforts to remove the communist back riders in the anc government.
Yet, this anc is an amalgamation of idealists and rotten-criminals. We certainly must remove the last ones. Unfortunately today this can only be done by voting as the criminals are protected by zuma’s presidential immunity.
Refrain to cast your vote for the tripartite anc but vote for any other party. It is the only way we get the capitalist-communist criminals out of this once respected liberation movement.
To avoid more bloodshed and corruption, we must oblige, with our vote, the present anc to join a multi-party government. And only than we will be able in the future to vote for leaders we trust from a party that has no governmental power.

"There is no evidence that indicates that the minister knew that the wall was being erected using secret service funds." (Would like to hear Mdluli's version, if he (Mdluli) is sentenced for corruption)
How did this man reach top position of being in charge of the Police force? Where is the Minister of Finance to voice his concern of this farce, when repeatedly asking us to pay our taxes?
Government should pay their top brass the same salaries as the news reporters, because they are doing a far greater job and service than the government is to the public. Standard transport vehicles should be issued to staff. If they beg to differ, let them pay for the vehicles themselves and bear the maintenance bills of it themselves. It is ridiculous that most politicians drive 4x4's when driving mostly on good tarred roads. It would only warrant a difference for those who have to travel in rural areas frequently.
Mthethwa, you can fool your colleagues and family, but you cannot fool us, you are a deceiver of trust, and deserve punishment. How much more have you gotten away with your corruption? We now know your character as you have slipped up badly this time. I look forward to your deployment. Report Abuse
