Government ministers owe millions in rent on houses paid for by taxpayers - Report

Current and former government ministers owe millions of rand in rent on homes that have been subsidised by taxpayers, according to a report by The Sunday Times.

Public works minister Patricia de Lille has sent letters to a number of high-profile politicians in an effort to recover more than R8 million in rental arrears.

Why must they rent! They should buy houses with our money, not rent!

Nobody is commenting on the amazing fact that for 1% of your salary, you can get a second house for free. Who decided that was even necessary? Talk about a nominal payment ... one that all those ministers can't even be bothered to make.

This lends credence to the argument to only have Parliament based in a single city. All this wasted rent and travel and for what benefit exactly?

What does that mean? I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.

The abilities that certain segment of the population have regarding, sports, academics, computers or any field that they have because of their genes.

In this case it is the ability to enriched themselves at our cost.

If that’s “allowed” the same can be said about human rights atrocities or even corruption.. and now we not talking people from Africa hey.. maybe you need to rethink logic or we can just go ahead and remove the gene from the gene pool.

Stupid people say stupid things as always.

Nothing wrong with that post, we read on a daily basis how currupt our politicians are. The fact that you don't want to see it is not my fault.

So, they really did run out of taxpayer money....

No they did not run out. They are still getting their fat boat load of cash from the tax payer. But why pay for something if they can rather pocket that cash and buy new BMWs or spend it renaming a town?
