Western Cape is an island. The money paid to contractors to demolish churches is wasteful and fruitless expenditure.

What's the point of making findings every financial year if no one will be shown the door.

"The money paid to contractors to demolish churches is wasteful and fruitless expenditure"

And you are saying this with a straight face after houses were demolished in Lenasia?

What's new???? We already know that the ANC is us.eless in adm.inistration of anyth.ing so why would we expect any province under their co.ntrol to do well. As a mat.ter of fact i am wil.ling to bet that the waste.ful expend.iture report.ed by AG is unde.rstated; there is a lot more not reported here!!!!

Can anyone please explain the new meaning of "wasteful" and "irregular"? In the olden days it meant that someone did not do their job, so someone is going to lose their job. Now it seems to mean that because the money was not actually stolen, no one is accountable.

TLekota: "Western Cape is an island. The money paid to contractors to demolish churches is wasteful and fruitless expenditure." OK, now that is one dof and uninformed statement. At least the island works for the bulk of it's residents, and the leadership aren't busily killing each other off in droves.

Wasteful expenditure on everything except what actually counts, like getting books to schools and teachers in classrooms. So what was it spent on?

My point exactly. Reports like these become monotonous if no remedial action is done. Is anyone accountable? #SHOUTING#

And why does not the report contain recommendations? I opine that it obviously has to recommend the sacking of the officials for wasteful expenditure and incompetence. This is a horrible joke. South Africa is indeed now a laughing stock in the world.

Nxa...who needs education, it is a colonial plot to ensure people have jobs, food, houses and a better life! Therefore it is counter-revolutionary and un-African...people must remain illiterate, poor and desperate so that the real revolutionary leaders can continue to drink champagne, build bigger and better houses, drive luxury German cars and fly anywhere on tax sponsored private jets...viva Economic Freedom viva, down with imperialist education...bloody agents!
