SA has 400 members of parliament each earning R1.1m plus perks. It has a President, deputy president, 32 ministers and 43 deputy ministers all receiving around R2.7m. Why don’t they all just communicate with each other instead of calling a National Dialogue at a cost of R750m?

the accidents and the urban decay wherever they congregate and oh not to mention a not insignificant portion of taxi drivers moonlight as izinkabi and I the taxi violence and and and and I think if you could do their balance sheet, on aggregate they're a liability to the country
