Eskom spends over R1.5 billion feeding workers

I guess it was just a matter of time before 'The Sickness' which is SO prevalent with the Arseholes-That-Be [ATB] before the spoors of The Sickness spread over the fence as it were because it is airborne, to nearby people and/or businesses. Onlookers would've no doubt by now noticed that the ATB has been getting away with it for years.

Oh, one more thing, there is NO vaccine and/or antidote for Corruption...once you've contracted it, that's it - you're done!
