Ministers should pay for their own expenses full stop. Aren’t they all shouting about user pay principle.

Ministers must fly economy class and buy their own cellphones

Finance Minister Tito Mboweni says there is a need to trim civil servant perks and stop wastages as the debt to GDP ratio is expected to rise to 71.3% in 2023.

This will include relooking at how much the public service spends on Ministerial cars, cellphone benefits and ensuring that everyone - including Ministers, the provincial executive and Mayors - travel economy class for all domestic flights.

Incoming:. Ministers to receive R2000 a month in lieu of cellphone allowance.

but why would anybody want to be a politician if you didn't get all the perks.
I'm sure all that will happen , is the spending will be much more on the sly now.

so yes still a BMW, when questioned, say its a rental car, or belongs to a friend.
when journalists do some digging, say its racist, or some other nonsense like that.
