SA's R20-billion e-toll problem

Over the last seven years, the government gave the South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) R19.6 billion in e-toll grants despite numerous warnings that the system would fail. [Daily Investor]

Just cancel all social grants until we've paid off etoll debts, built some power stations, and have functional public health care and education systems.

I am all for cancelling social grants for a period of 5-10 years. Get rid of all SOE debt first.

If only errbody told them it was a stupid idea from the start and continuously every day since

Meh. Pales in comparison to SA's multi-trillion rand ANC problem

 

[jgegroups]

R1.7 BILLION to run per year? Just does not add up. Not happy with 10% graft - get a government contract and change that to 1000%

 

[TPM]

Shouldn't a financial forensic investigation be carried out to identify corruption?
Why are projects like this carried out to milk the people ?
Charge those that sanctioned it ?

[justplain]

The more stupid the idea ( i.e the bigger the kickback) the more likely the ANC are going to push ahead with it.
Please SA, vote these fools out.

They do that there will be nothing but ashes left. They will burn down everything in protest.

I have a plan for that. You hire half the grant recipients to fight the other half.
