Well done Rebecca and DM. This is the sort of thing that we need to pull snouts out of troughs and make people in high places accountable. Add this to the three Chinese SUVs and it just makes a picture of "entitlement" clear, with no moral compass. I am left speechless.

Shameless entitlement and an idea that if this is exposed, the minister will be able to sweep it under the carpet and that other ANC comrades will stand by her theft of governmnet/tax payers money and the exploitation of a poor vulnerable employee. Will Cyril fire this minister? If not then one has to wonder what dirt she has on him!
