Municipality spent R38 million on call centre "shack"

A municipality in the North West spent R38 million on a small prefabricated building in Vryburg, which it said is being used as its new call centre, City Press reports.

Sources at the municipality who have raised red flags about the project have dubbed it the country's most expensive "mkhukhu", the word used in many South African languages to describe an informal house built with metal roof material or mud.
 
ANC voters are extatic about this good news.

Hey! Stop being such a snob. One person's shack is another's office.
 
Honestly you can buy those Lenovos for between R1500-2000 each. If you still believe to pay R5k for it youre nuts.

Or buy one from a corporate who sells them after its tax value was reduced to R0. Can pay R3-400 for one. Keyboard and mouse comes with, include the power cable. And monitor is R200 more. And I can bet you the Logitech headsets are no more than R300 each. So many of them around. Yip R1000 per unit.

But having dealt with a small company that provided service to a government company, they will easily hike it up to R15k each. Most likely they will just rent it to them.

Just put them all up against a wall and shoot them.
Then the EFF will come in power and perform a miracle and it will be South Africa of the past all perfect and happy.... NOT.
 
Imagine, if I were to defend this blatant corruption, I would look very silly, not so? That's how you DA supporters look every time you fall over yourself with reasonable explanations trying to defend the DA's corruption.
Ah, that time some lady gave to a church instead of a charity.
