I have sympathy with people who are e.g. teachers, nurses, factory workers etc who just can't get through on their salaries (and working longer hours won't help either). Then to rub salt in their eyes Minister Lindiwe Sisulu chartered a luxury Gulfstream jet more than 200 times between Pretoria and Cape Town, at the cost of R200,000 a trip. (http://www.sowetanlive.co.za/news/2012/11/14/sisulu-lashes-out-at-da-mp) However, there are a large number of people who drive expensive cars and who simply can't afford it. South Africans are obsessed with cars - just look at the number of BMW's, Mercs, Audi's etc on the road. People should also learn to live within their means.

Teachers, polices and health employees do work a bit. Other government employees are getting paid for doing nothing. You can see how fat they are....

Most teachers earn between R150000 and R380000 a year, yeah neh! and still they go to abomashonisa. There are people out there working for government who are still earning between R51000 and R68000 a year, I think this Marikana protest must come as an eye opener to us public servants. No more percentages but real figures when we negotiate for salaries, unions watch out!

- Disband the Scorpions for investigating him for corruption
- Spy on the telephone calls of citizens
- Illegally acquire the taped phone conversations of the president
- Use illegal spytape to make secret deals with government
- Implement secrecy bill

The director-general in the office of the premier, Rachel Molepo-Modipa had to apologise to members of Scopa at a hearing probing the affairs of the premier's office on Tuesday.
The apology resulted from her failed attempts to explain an amount of R641 410 incurred by the premier Cassel Mathale for "fuel claims’ that were recorded as fruitless and wasteful in the Auditor-General’s report on the financial statements of the premier's office for 2011/12.
The reasons for, and the service providers involved in any fruitless and wasteful expenditure transactions, were not listed in the written answers of the premier's office to Scopa, as is required for all departments.
When asked for details of the amount supplied the DG first claimed there were "various" issues or items involved.
When probed for further detail she said some cars were going to be sold at an auction taking place today, (Thursday) and then later said the amount pertained to the premier's car.
When further pressed for clarity about what the cars sold at an auction had to do with the fruitless and wasteful expenditure, she said the premier's car had to be sold during the last financial year for exceeding official kilometres, but was only to be sold now. Only when pressed further did she admit that the fruitless and wasteful expenditure was for "fuel claims" incurred by the premier.
Review reported in February that the premier was using his private vehicle in preference to two official vehicles, a BMW 750i and a BMW X5 at his disposal.
He was allegedly paid a travel claim of R371 000 in September 2011, as well as his salary of R75 000.
At the time his spokesperson Mashadi Mathosa said he was entitled to use his own car according to the ministerial handbook.
Review established that when an official vehicle was not available "all distances travelled for official purposes in private vehicles may be claimed at a tariff equal to three times the standard running and maintenance allowances as published in the financial manual from time to time".
Mathale's BMW 750i was bought in April 2009 and the X5 in June 2011.
New official vehicles may only be bought when the old vehicle had clocked up 120 000km or after five years, whichever comes first.
The five year clause did not apply in either case, and the 750i would have had to clock up 12 000km a month to be disqualified as an official vehicle.
• When phoning the auctioneer about the BMW 750i advertised to be auctioned today he said it had (nine months into the new financial year) 126 000km on the clock.
• The officials responsible for this "anomaly" of not preventing fruitless and wasteful expenditure were listed as the CFO and the senior manager of supply chain management in the premier's office, and the reasons provided were that "internal controls were not effective and efficient to prevent fruitless and wasteful expenditure."
According to section 38 (c) (ii) cited by the AG's report at the questioning of this expenditure, the accounting officer must prevent unauthorised, irregular and fruitless and wasteful expenditure.
During Scopa hearings for the department of public works it came to light that fruitless and wasteful expenditure amounting to R347 660,50 had also been incurred because of subsistence and travel allowances paid to the MEC of the department of public works at the time, during the 2011/12 financial year.
This was allegedly because the department had "delayed" replacing the official vehicle that had reached the maximum allowed kilometres.
The amount of R347 660,50, sufficient to buy a new luxury car, was claimed during a period of only four months.
