Municipal corruption: a career path?

[Bewlen]

Justice and Correctional Services Minister Ronald Lamola has announced only nine municipal officials have been convicted of crimes related to financial misconduct since 2006.
Lamola revealed this in response to a written parliamentary question from DA MP Cilliers Brink.
Since 2006, he said, only 67 people have been prosecuted for financial misconduct in municipalities, and of the 67, only nine have been convicted.

It does seem to be a very lucrative, low-risk, viable career path, judging by the numbers. Probably the easiest way to become filthy rich if you are absolutely useless.

Plundering and looting. Nothing new.
Peasants will starve and be useless yet still vote for these thieves.
