SA Politics Thread Part 12

[Mariner]

Great, they're locked up in cells. It's about time this starts happening to the big boy politicians as well:

Madibeng ward councillor Peter Legong, 39, a municipal regional secretary at the Brits office, Raymond Mogaile, 40, and a driver, Menzi Mngadi, 42, appeared briefly in the Pretoria magistrate’s court on Friday.

The three were arrested by the Hawks at Menlyn on Thursday after they allegedly asked for gratification of R300,000 from a businessman in connection with a municipal tender.

While the three remain in custody, the case was postponed until December 15 for further investigation.

R300k ‘gratification’ lands Madibeng councilor and colleagues behind bars

I'm not discussing politics. I'm pointing out facts. You seem to have an inability to discern facts from opinion and propaganda. It could be the literacy vs comprehension affliction, which is common to 80% of South Africans.

I wonder why they then allowed the ferrochrome smelters to get to the brink. While then proposing a tax of chrome concentrate exports which are ironically mostly headed for China. Looks like a China thing as the Chinese are building a smelters in limpopo as well.

100 likes. Also ANC benefits from keeping everything broken. Broken stuff means plenty of tenders to go around and plenty of Kodac "Service you can see and touch" photo ops.

FYI job creation <> a fixit consumer economy. That's basically dumping used car oil back into your engine after draining it out.
