State officials working with crime syndicates to steal millions - Report

Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Patricia de Lille has ordered a complete overhaul of the government's shambolic property management system after learning that government officials are manipulating it to steal millions of rand.

These officials are reportedly working with crime syndicates to make money off of government properties, including the following examples uncovered by the Sunday Times:

• A former Johannesburg office clerk rented out seven state-owned properties and pocketed the R70,000 rental.
• An Eastern Cape employee accepted two down payments of R20,000 for state-owned houses in King William's Town.
• A KwaZulu-Natal official sold state land in the upper-class suburb of Glenashley, Durban.

The government has owned this land for 25 years now and could have used it to generate revenue, provide public services and assist with fair land distribution.

"The auditor-general has raised issues about this register, especially around the correct classification of the assets.”

So this was previously known and highlighted and the ruling cANCer party did nothing to fix it, colour me surprised.
