Same sh!t, different day.
What are the chances of any of our money being recouped or the perpetrators going to jail? I suppose it depends on which horse they are backing in the political ratrace

What about Magashule? he is Zuma's close ally that's why he cannot be probed...they only investigate Malema just because he was kicked out of ANC..

The SUI should develop a database of the officials implicated for the naming and shaming purposes .......... We the public, particularly the taxpayers, need to know who those people are.

The sad reality is that nothing will happen to these people. I know of cases in the municipality where the same was uncovered by the same SIU under the presidential proclamation but to-date, nothing happened to those implicated. Cases have been thrown out left right & centre. Very sad!

Follow any of my ANC leedas....... right from the top man...... lets see what happens to Nkandla ...... lets al guess umm nothing.... to JUJU umm nothing..... Selebi...um nothing...... and so it goes on..... yet the people and the tax payers suffer........ all these "misplaced" monies could easily have paid for the SANRAL upgrades for example....... now they want to come with e toll?
