Dina Pule found guilty

Parliament's Joint Committee on Ethics has found former minister of communications, Dina Pule, guilty for abusing her power.

So instead of being fired immediately without question, she gets a fine of 1 month's salary and loses her Parliamentary privileges for 14 days.

Unreal. What kind of example does this set for average joe?

“We rejected her evidence as untrustworthy and determined that she be issued with a reprimand, fined 30 days’ salary, and be suspended from Parliament for 15 days,” Kohler Barnard said.

Corruption, millions of rands at stake, and this is the harshest punishment?
She'll pop up in another prominent position soon enough.

I'm trying not to laugh.
