What facts? You are easily pleased i see.

The president and his deputy bought property in some part of South Africa. Nothing ground breaking in that.

You probably missed the party Panyaza threw when the two bought properties in Johannesburg, his tweets are still on the internet somewhere.

More like everything else is beneath them. They are part of the liberation movement and therefore deserve better treatment whether there's money or not...

The young and old of the ANC complained about the cold at the venue which has no heaters to warm the meeting room and demanded that the meeting be moved elsewhere immediately.
“The SG was very angry and NEC members were all livid. This place is cold, chief, but the Treasurer-General brought us here because they cannot afford Birchwood,” said our informant, who was present when the decision to move elsewhere was taken.

“Even the food was very bad, this cannot be the standard to treat NEC members of a liberation movement.”

Lead story in the ST today is the large scale financial mismanagement of Joburg along with minor parties wanting the ex Al-Jamah mayor to be MMC for finance, lol. It's become so bad the Treasury has told the JHB mayor to come up with a turnaround plan in 2 weeks, nothing of which is likely to be adhered.

Fish Hoek battles worsening water infrastructure crisis as sinkholes emerge

Concerns over a deteriorating water infrastructure in Fish Hoek have reached alarming heights as crumbling systems give rise to frequent leaks, sinkholes, and potholes:

I am very familiar with that area. There are no garages built on the boundary of Corsair Road. That photo is not of any property in Corsair Road. The only part of Corsair Road that floods after heavy downpours, is near the intersection of Coracle Street and Corsair Road, as it is the lowest point and any water from any source will flow down the roads to that point. It's the reason that no houses were built on the ground next to the road:

You omitted to mention this part of the article you posted, though:

According to Badroodien the first fruits of this assessment are already evident, with numerous pipeline replacement projects completed over the last three financial years. ‘Spanning various suburbs, the initiative has replaced more than 14,000 metres of aging infrastructure, including notable improvements in Fish Hoek, Ocean View, and Simon’s Town,’

Badroodien continued that, ‘Looking ahead, the current financial year, 2025/26, has earmarked an additional 8,188 metres of pipeline replacement work, including notable areas such as Ranger Road and Sun Valley,’

This systematic replacement will involve durable materials like high-density polyethylene and un-plasticised polyvinyl chloride, providing resilience and longevity.

Actually it's become so bad that they want the Al-Jamahaha fraudster to look after the money...

Oh trust me they are, they are just nastier than the evil WMC Imperialist West when it comes to ROI and consequences for not meeting the required ROI.
