It is easy for finance minister Tito Mboweni to say people should pay for services. Everything for him is free. Minister, give people work, they will pay for services. He says we should register businesses; he is really joking. Does he know that registering a business takes a year or more?Mr Minister, you need to come to the people, to hear their problems. We elected you to work for us, not to dictate to us. When you fail you blame apartheid. Our beloved country is in tatters because of leaders like you. - Buti, Ennerdale
