Ok Twat Twaddle, then which municipalities have misappropriated the FBE allocation from National Treasury, and which municipal employees have been charged with that theft?

"Used for salaries"

Yup, there is a reason these municipalities owe Eskom such massive amounts.

Honestly, it's pathetic that these municpalities aren't being held to account, those and all funds receved for electricity should be ring fenced.

Vote ANC! It will be different this time!

 

[Bad Ballie]

Can't be surely the municipalities are run by honest cadre. Let's see who votes what in November, and then we can see who deserves what they are getting and who wants to build a future for their family and children.

Nom nom time

It is a positive sign that the minister might have changed his obsession with building the Burj Al Africa in Centurion to actually helping his people.

 

[Fuzzbox]

IM SHOCKED.

Just just FBE but also the equitable share from treasury. That is meant for services and infrastructure.

Those condoms were clearly stapled to Family Planning pamphlets.

What's even worse is the folks in these municipalities keep voting for these thieves.

People voting against their own self-interest... and in this case survival. It's madness.

Pretty sure it is easy to skim tens of millions off 21 billion as well. So I assume that besides salaries large sums of money are just plain stolen.

Tribalism, where the chief can do no wrong. The middle / upper class ANC voters are the most despicable - propping up this corrupt organisation with their race votes. They're as bad as white apartheid supporting voters were. Maybe even worse given how indiscriminate the ANC are with their lack of caring.
