R1.6mil, a full year's pay for severance, is not enough.
After two BMWs were bought for her that I doubt she needs to return.
After she's cost the DoC millions of rands in food, hotel stays, first/business class flights and furnishing.
With the multitude of assets she should have under her belt by now with the exorbitant paycheque she was receiving.
And it's not enough. Nope. She either wants a similar paying job handed to her on a silver platter (and here we thought young adults in South Africa were plum lazy when it came to looking for work) or "a payout of her full 3 to 5 year contract"; in other words, something in excess of R1.6mil.
People like this make me sick. They sit in lavish offices doing comparatively little work when looking at their subordinates doing the bulk of their actual work for them, are afforded all manner of luxuries and superior benefits given their positions, and when something goes wrong, presumably based on their own actions, they have a hissy-fit and demand they get more than they deserve (what's the antonym for 'sic'?) as compensation.

Basic medical aid (if any), usually does not cover spouse nor children
A company car to be returned to the company upon termination of contract (if they get one and don't share one with another employee or several others)
What she likely got with her position
All travel expenses paid for, both personal and business related
Hotel stays in 5 star hotels paid for; food, drinks and room service all paid for with no upper ceiling on allowance
Full life insurance, likely with at least some basic coverage for spouse/family
Full medical aid
Though she had her own car at appointment, she was likely offered the opportunity to gain a company car - whether or not she accepted one and/or what happened to the one that may have been appointed to her we don't know
These are the people essentially running our country, and they're setting a damned poor example for our youth; not that there isn't already near-irreversible damage done to their mindsets given the sociopolitical situations within this country.
