In the news today .. Hellen and her cabinet have unanimously chosen not to order flashy new cars ..Now hear this one .. the car allowance value given to MEC's and provincial leaders is up to 70 % of their annual salary .. thats disgusting .. in the private sector its normally 25 % of salary ,anything over you have to foot the billl ...
Ms Zille had to give up her Toyota Prius ( a good example of following an environmental issue and fuel saving ) when she finished as mayor of CT .. she now uses a " many years old " mercedes 200 from the Government garage which has a huge stock of vehicles all ready and waiting to be used ,, all her MEC's are also using older vehicles from GG stock ... her comment "I would have liked to keep the Prius but my security advisors were against it as it did not have the power to get out of trouble situations ... furthermore she said its prudent to use the vehicles available in these austere and financally troubled timesand not to waste taxpayers money "
On the other side of the coin many of the ANC ministers and MEC's are splurging valauble taxpayers money on flashy new vehicles .... I THINK THEY SHOULD ALL HAVE BUMPER STICKERS THAT SAY " F....K THE POOR "
Where is the keeping to their hollow promises during those bus them in , free T shirt and hat ( imported from china ) , free food ,take a chicken home Ra ra drive into stupid voting frenzy political rallies ??
Again we will see them waste billions of our hard earned tax money and not keep to their promises .. 500 000 jobs ?? with what money ?? when they finished there will be nothing .. already the populace with some of the hollow promises of the Zulu boy and his cohorts still fresh in their minds are now starting to riot cos their free house water and electricity has not dropped out of the sky .. hey what about us poor buggers that have to pay for everything ??
THE OLD SAYING OF YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW WILL SURELY hIT THEM IN THE FACE ... but yes they will choose to ignore instead now saying its a third force behind the riots .. bloody idiots ...
We wont even go into JZ's splurge on Kings house in KZN .. a perfectly liveable home that he would use only occasionally ... its had an upgrade to the tune of some horrendous figure in the multiple millions ,, all bathrooms fitted with imported goodies ... no local .. Cobra put in a tender .. but were turned down .. so what about keeping jobs and going local ?? furthermore what about their so highly held BEE requirements for tenders ... F... ng hipprocrytes ...
they don't give a stuff, because they know the same morons will vote them back into power in four years time. Then they'll blame a 'fourth force'.
Even better she has said that Govt should reconsider the extravagant car allowances and reduce them ... apart from that no blue light brigades for any of her MEC's including herself , basic security only when travelling but cut back after hours .. also to not use their corporate credit cards issued by Govt ,,, now thats setting an example in these austere and troubled times ..
What these buggers scared of anyhow that they feel they have to surround themselves with a troupe of Goons .. Mmm they afraid of their pissed of electorate ..
On the news tonight .. Govt now saying they will review the policy in view of the extravagant behaviour of some ... seeing the riots and strikes for higher wages increasing ( and one cant blame them in some way seeing the fatcats that promised heaven and free everything ) maybe they suddenly getting the message or yes read between the lines of what Ms Zille said ,, thats its inapropriate for Govt to be extravagant when people are going without .. we wait and see how true they are to this .. may the buggers sweat ...
