MEC steps down over luxury car

That would be an Africa first!
The ANC will probably tell her there's no need to step down. :(

Edit: Or maybe this is just Zuma walking the talk :)

Sbu Ndebele decides not to accept gift, then the MEC steps down, wow, wow indeed. I think the ANC under Zuma are off to a good start.:)

Does the anc under Zumatello also want breakfast and taxi fare? :)

And I ask that because Zumatello told Ndebele that he could keep the car. Maybe there are some good people about in spite of the criminals in government.
 
It is unlikely the MEC is stepping down of her own accord given the way she went about acquiring the car. She basically bought the car because he husband liked it.
 
Sorry but what is the issue if her husband liked the car?
If she is entitled to the amount of money then she deserves to have it.
I see nothing wrong with that.
I hope this is all above board though.

Zuma said he wouldn't tolerate this kind of thing. We see both car scandals resolved well, so let's give credit where it's due.

And you're forgetting that Zoomatella advised the one crony to keep the car.

Eyewitness News has learnt Gauteng Agriculture MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko was stepping down following a furore involving a stolen luxury state vehicle.

The MEC paid R920 000 out of taxpayers coffers for a luxury Mercedes Benz.


The car was stolen by hijackers outside her home only hours after being collected from a dealership on the East Rand on Friday.


Concerns were raised about the car’s price tag, why the vehicle was not insured and why the MEC’s husband had been driving the state-owned car on the day it was stolen.


Her department insisted the deal was above board but Eyewitness News learnt Nkomo-Ralehoko was stepping down just weeks after being appointed as an MEC because the paperwork around the deal had not been finalised and she effectively wasted close on one million rand of taxpayers’ money.

Only stepping down...? If this is indeed the case then she effectively "stole" around a million rands worth of taxpayers money....stepping down in these circumstances is not enough IMO.

Exactly...so how is Zumatello not tolerating this kind of thing...? As for the MEC...lets wait and see.
 
ag, shame man... she just made a simple mistake in calculations.

She wasn't counting on getting caught.
 
Hey... Why doesn't S'bu just donate his 1Mil Merc to her and call it quits! He offloads his albatros and she gets a Merc woth a Mil and keeps her position.

Win win hoorah!

Why should he be getting any credit?

He gets no credit for the return of the gift merc.

And if he had anything to do with the MEC then she didn't step down.

If we don't act honorably and acknowledge that they did the right thing, then we are just the same.
