Fat cats milk millions

The South African goverment has drastically changed since the post apartheid has seized. Drawing back to the time where the government was predominately white, there were not many cases of corruption within the government itself at that time. Since Nelson Mandela took over as the president of the country in 1994, it was 'open sesame' for most of the black comrades to become part of the government.

Ever since egalitarianism has been the ideology of being a true South African citizen, government had an influx of black people from cabinet ministers to government officials have absolute power which has corrupted them absolutely. The thing is that all the cabinet ministers and other government officials get paid more than enough to feed their families but they still act like unruly hounds and milk extra millions that are supposed to help flourish the country, be it in infrastructure or funding for organizations. According to the Democratic Alliance (DA) which at this phase seems like the only party alarmed about the over-spending by the MPs and government officials, wasteful spending now stands at R318-million for only a period of four months, which is off one's rocker.

Most of the ministers and their deputies get innumerable money and luxurious items such as cars and estate agents for zilch. Judging by the amount of work they do to develop the country, it's quite unfair that they still have the audacity to spend millions without exceptional results on the table.
