What a pity they steal and waste the money!!!!!!

The stolen Rand has no multiplier effect and normally lands up in other tax havens.

Unfortunately like a labor contract this budget works one way only. A farm laborer walks out on his contract, farmer can do nothing, just like this lot, to government this budget is just an afternoon in parliament. Tax payer pays again. They don't give a damn about sticking to it, all they want is more for their department to steal. The two mining ministers gave the middle finger to Gordhan just days before the budget so much for austerity. Then they have a spokesperson justifying the new vehicles, 120k or 5 years old, a lot of us have cars far older than that, besides some cars are only run in at 120k. Their's are probably buggered because of the way they drive, company car who gives a stuff.

My car is 15years old and still works. I can hardly keep head above water with the current tax regime. The stupidity of this ANC government knows no bounds.

Robbing the honest to pay the thieves again

Fire the president and his cronies would add billions to the fiscus. Firing incompetent municipal executives and a bloated bureaucracy would add billions more. Of course this is not going to happen. I wonder if treasury increased the amount for corruption?
