The arrogance of our ministers knows no bounds.

We are upset because we are paying for something we already paid for with e-tolls.

And it’s not just that - they and their friends with private companies with multi million-rand salaries are set to make a killing in profit.

It is absolutely shameful that the ANC always remembers the poor and shamelessly use them as a shield for their corruption.

"Should we take that money away from poor children whose fathers have slept on work surfaces?" Dipuo Peters asked.

So where was your big mouth when a president felt it good to spend over R200 million on his own home?

Where was your concern for the poor when one person decides its ok to spend R50 000 in 10 weeks for fast food

When your Youth League and NEF throws away millions in "unrecoverable loans" – in other word loans for buddies – with cash back under the counter?

When ever you think of new ways to screw the employers and middle class of this country, it’s “the poor this, the poor that", but you show zero concern for the poor when you need to spend money on yourself.

And no, don't let us exaggerate here , I am not saying the president of this country should live in a shack, but there is a middle ground.

R5 million still buys a pretty nice house.

We should implement a White House system like the US, where a president can only live in a certain house during his term, and what ever gets spent on the house stays the property of the state.

This is absolutely shameful.

You are only the ‘Mandela's ANC’ when its election time. The rest of the time you are a bunch of ravenous, lazy, glutinous hyenas.
