Why then does the government not sell the buildings to someone that can renovate and put then to good use? Government is not setting an good example in reposible spending and job creation. Irregular and fruitless expenditure is in the billions yearly in this country as well as unspent budgets and thats money that would be used to create jobs. Nobody is ever held accountable or face consequences Report Abuse

Government should not own property in the first place. Public Works has just been slow in disposing of some of the property however it remains a good move. Report Abuse

This is exactly why this country is failing. The don't have money to renovate, so they just waste more money to rent. Plus, the ANC uses government building for parking - what more proof do you need that the ANC makes no dictinction beteween itself and the government - using government resources and taxpayers money is so convenient isn't it ?

Do we all see the importance of a free press now. Would we have ever discovered that the ANC was getting free parking at our expense otherwise. They want to toll our own roads and increase electricity tariffs because they are inefficient. Report Abuse
