Taxpayers cough up millions to give former ministers free business class flights

Former South African ministers and their partners have been getting free flights - totalling tens of millions of rand - at the expense of taxpayers.

You know what would be a shock article, government uses taxpayers money for good. I mean instead the best we've seen then do is celebrate for a tap.

This is why SAA must die.

With over 10 million South Africans trapped in unemployment by the ANC

Not a fair comparison. R45.3m could barely buy a shack in Dubai. The ANC has always given back. Has the anc not always ensured that non-payment for services was ignored for decades? A political party that is willing to compromise democratic principles in order to bankrupt the state-owned energy provider just so it can give back and remain in power. Where is the appreciation?

To think there are people who voted for this. Dumb voters will get a corrupt thieving government.

Every other party will bring back apartheid though, didn't you know that?

Well, well well: Des van Rooyen may have been a Weekend Special, but he has certainly gotten around in the past 2 years. Who would have thunk it?

This explains why this corrupt government is pumping 'billjons' into SAA - so that they can fly business class at their hearts desire for mahala. If you Google 'how do you get rid of a corrupt government' the reply is ' you can't, all governments are corrupt'. Now you can understand why so many governments are removed by force.

Economical ignorance at its best. I suppose he did night classes with Robert Mugabe.

And then we, the foolish taxpayers, are expected to support the unemployed, poor and needy because our dear government cannot perform their social duties. What idiots we are.

He must have taken night classes on finance from Robert Mugabe. Ignorance is bliss but combined with arrogance it' scary.

Nothing at all surprising here........

True, apparently some say it was better under apartheid

It was for me. I had more money from dealing with the wit okes in government and could sleep with my doors open.

I was surprised that it wasn't more: I expected billions wasted not millions.
