More parties for public officials and guess who suffers!

by Thobile Memela

The Cape Town minister of Education Angie Motshekga decided to throw a party of more than R250 000 in order to celebrate her budget speech in parliament. Now think about that... Motshekga admitted that the department of Education spent R267 044 on the event. This amount included R50 000 which was spent on refreshments and R20 500 for entertainment. Okay now how much would it cost to build a home-care shelter for orphans?... The party escaled in the Education and Training departments with a number of 250 guests.
An amount of R237 000 had been spent by the police minister Nathi Mthethwa for the party and accommodation in a high class hotel in Table Bay. Do they ever get enough?...Despite anything else Motshekga and the minister of Higher Education and Training Blade Nzimande had been long spending huge amounts of money, of which they bought luxury official cars. Now really, at the age of 55, is it necessary? Motshekga owns 2 luxury cars ( don't forget that) a range Rover Sport TDV8 and a BMW 730D meanwhile the taxpayers suffer to death. Mr Blade Nzimande owns a BMW 750i and this amounts to R1.1 million and R1.7 million of which taxpayers had to pay. Okay now how much would it cost to develop Khayelista, Abahlali baseMjondolo The shack dwellers?
Officials are spending money like nobody's business obviously they won't pay the price because the government is on their side. They hold power to society so who can arrest them? Who can report their cases? Report them to whom?
