Article: Nkandla setback for minister

Beleaguered Public Works Minister Thembelani Nxesi suffered another setback when the High Court in Pretoria ordered him on Tuesday to provide the Mail & Guardian Centre for Investigative Journalism with a full set of Nkandla documents.

The High Court in Cape Town in February ordered Nxesi to pay the costs of the DA's application to have the full Nkandla report released.

The media should be forced to use the correct terminology.

The High Court in Cape Town in February ordered the taxpayer to pay the costs of the DA's application to have the full Nkandla report released.

Which minister cares about being ordered to pay costs when it doesn't come out of their own pocket.
 
When the govt is ordered to pay costs, the taxpayer pays.

When the opposition is ordered to pay costs it comes out of their own budget.

Something very wrong there.
 
Said minister feels NOTHING as it is not his money. So he will stall until the Judge orders him to appear in front of him in Court. And WE will pay the price...
 
unfortunately contempt of Court needs to start causing costs to be awarded against the official's personal divvy and we need to start seeing officials (including Ministers) sitting in gaol contempt until delivery.
