I am imprest, Give them a Bells, our young generations spent their monies on alcohol instead of exporing the Country, wish they phone the minister of Tourims, he could have given them more free holidays.

Gogos enjoying their time. They inspire me. Usebenzile we Weziwe Thusi. The MEC did what she had to do..nothing heroic about that , thats just my opinion.

It's a pity that there are people who are always negative about everything. I guess that's why their lives are also stagnant without a way forward. I am referring to some comments above. MEC Weziwe Thusi did a very applausable job by coming to the rescue of our senior citizens and we should express our sincere gratitude for her efforts to ensure that grannies go back to Cape Town. I urge all those who have a negative attitude to everything to change if they want their lives to change for better!!

Tizo: A plausible job indeed. Pity she had to call the press in for the back-patting extravaganza.

Always criticising anything to everything government official is doing. I'm starting to doubt if you are a South african or you related to shadrack Gutto.

Good work MEC. Gogos next time when you plan an outing request extra assistance you know the state is caring for you, you cannot manage on your own with your little pension.

I wonder what Weziwe Thusi would have done if the grannies were from a minority group ?

These grannies can not be that poor if they have R 20 000 to spend on a holiday !
