The City said Gautrain owed R10 million and had last paid its account in 2020.

Let'one of us peasants not pay for two years .....

Still waiting for Matshela Koko’s wife to pay up, then they'll be able to pay Tshwane.

It would be interesting to learn how many have issues with their accounts, e.g., they have been overcharged due to billing issues by Tshwane. Where justified, kudos. But so many major names makes me wonder what is going on there.

Too little too late for what?

So they should just let them continue freeloading?

SARS eh. Great example to the country. Wack us when late but don't pay their own outstandings. Beautiful.

And they don't even have to spend their own money

I kid you not. I received a call from COJ debt collector on 25th one month (I think it was November 2021) as I hadn't paid by 20th. For flipping 2000 rands.

It’s impossible to shame the shameless.

So if SARS isn't using our tax money to pay rent, where is it going?

Good, but this is what happens when the money is finish and klaar; they actually have to do something.

Machines, to generate a supply of patronage, must be able to interfere in administrative processes, distributing public resources on a case-by-case basis directly to their political supporters

OP-ED: The politics of South Africa’s patronage system: The process of anti-patronage reform (Part Two)

Prosecutions alone will not resolve the problem of corruption and patronage in South African politics. A more encompassing strategy is necessary.

This is why they refuse to call it corruption because it is a system that has been in place for hundreds of years. The biggest tribes and most powerful chieftains got this way because of a successful system of patronage.

The government
