Corruption at Department of Communications?

no surprises there. Is there a single Government department that is not fraught with ANC corruption, nepotism and money grabbing?
 
Nothing will come of this "investigation", some wrist slapping maybe.
 
Interesting...

So if found guilty, will they have to pay the money back someway - will the "friends" be fired and better qualified people be hired?

Corruption happens, and I'm glad they got caught. What frustrates me is that nothing productive, or beneficial to the public is done once these people are caught out.

They get "fined" or jailed... but that doesnt amount to the damage they did to the community. Who gets the fine money? How do we correct the wrongs? How will these people voted to serve us pay back both the damage done via overspending/hiring friends such that we get back the productivity and money lost?

This is why SA fails so badly, the damage is done and nothing is done to fix the damage and then better the situation as these corrupt people were meant to do.

If the system said:
If found corrupt the must pay the legal fees, pay the investigation costs, repay money lost, and contribute freely to the community for the amount of years found corrupt (even if it's street sweeping) - and these were carried out. Then I'd be happy.

End of the day - my taxes pay for trial, for investigation, for the corruption money that was lost AND I don't get the service that I was meant to be paying for. I want ALL that back from the people found guilty.
 
If these people spent the same amount of effort "working" as they do on stealing, imagine the possiblities.
 
i spent 5 minutes trying to come up with a civilized response to this . . .


i failed.
 
Good to see that they are investigating. Now take all the money you stole and come make my exchange ADSL compatible. Chop chop.

as RPM said.

Should be interesting to see what will be done with the results of the investigation.

Have we not had enough "prior" experience with other so-called investigations to know exactly what will happen afterwards:erm::(
 
The alleged offender will resign this week and walk away with a sunset deal in the form of a golden handshake. After a few months she will re-surface with a promotion as a MEC or MP.

The investigation will be halted and they will haul out the confidentiality clause.

Nothing new or surprising about this sad tale.
