Well well, looks like the DA is living up to expectations... so far.

I really hope and believe they will make a difference.

Times Media also reported that Msimanga will request that all international travel for politicians and officials of Tshwane‚ will need to be put through a mayoral committee and will be subject to cost-benefit analyses.

“There are benefits to international travel for trade and investment‚ but a culture of taking trips to conferences and junkets all over the world will not be allowed under my government. I have stopped all new international travel requests and we will carefully scrutinise each one individually‚” Msimanga said on Wednesday.

The public can take pride in this man's policies.

THIS RACIST COCONUT IS INFRINGING ON THE DIGNITY OF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS BY NOT ALLOWING A BLUE LIGHT BRIGADE

Good on him.

That's good.
Maybe public servants can go back to being servants again.

That's what they are, servants, except for those mostly in the ANC where the delusion is strong and they think that they are kings.
