I do understand if going to your family is a source of shame and something you do when you are out of options, that applies to you, we live different lives. I have borrowed money from family plenty of times, and also lent them money, for the very reason that there is no reason to pay interest on a bank loan, unless the amount I require is more than they can afford.

We even have a family stokvel that we contribute to and take interest free loans from.

You are not an MP earning a fat salary and in charge of guiding a country.


It has nothing to do with shame and everything to do with these people are tasked with guiding the country, and if they can't make do on their salaries and perks they should be fired for being incompetent and a danger to the society they're tasked with guiding.

Too much drama, the only thing that is required here is that the declaration should be proper, not like they have been declared financially delinquent.

So whether they take loans from friends and family is frankly none of your business.

Given their position and influence in our political system it bloody well is our business.

They are clearly financially delinquent if they need interest free cash payouts with the salaries they earn.

You think so, but it's really not, your business is whether they declare or not, that's where it ends.

As it is now, it looks like the declaration process is not adequate, that is what needs to be fixed so that it properly captures everything the public needs to know.

And there is a proper way of declaring someone financially delinquent, you just don't randomly pronounce it on a Saturday night and it becomes so.

You would think you'd have a clue as to why its bad that your political overlords are taking interest free cash deposits... But it seems to be a stretch for you to grasp.

Unless those loans are not actually loans but kickbacks and corruption....

Gayton LIVs it up as cash-strapped federations plan to hit back

National federations still reeling from his funding cuts are finalising a unified response.

While sport minister Gayton McKenzie participated in yesterday’s announcement that LIV Golf was heading to South Africa next year, national federations still reeling from his funding cuts were finalising a unified response.

Local sports officials this week staged an emergency meeting — facilitated by the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc) — to draw up a battle plan after their annual budgets were slashed by a combined R40m, translating into cuts ranging from 40% to 60% across the board.

There are fears some federations would be unable to survive, with some — nearly four months into the financial year — having already spent cash they thought they’d receive based on earlier three-year agreements with the department of sport, arts & culture (DSAC).
