Patricia De Lille says more needs to be done to ensure people who work for the state don’t do business with the department

Public Works Minister Patricia de Lille has revealed more than 3,700 Public Works employees are doing business with the department.

She said 300 of those employees have their own companies and, in some instances, they had not declared the conflict of interest to the department.

The latest shocking revelations come as the Public Works Department investigates irregular expenditure relating to three state funerals that cost taxpayers a whopping R76 million.

It’s alleged a service provider inflated invoices for the funerals of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, former minister Zola Skweyiya and former chief of state protocol Billy Modise.

De Lille said more needed to be done to ensure people who work for the state don’t do business with the department.

Another stupid plan on the incompetent ANC’s table – Regime now wants to expand and manage shipping, while all the SOE’s are total failures

Posted on 19/12/2019 Leave a comment

The ANC government’s Minister of Transport, Fikile Mbalula, has just announced that his Department is looking into the possibility of expanding shipping and the ships will be managed by their incompetent department.

Informed sources say the announcement comes simply as a distraction after it became known that Prasa is also bankrupt like almost every other state entity in this country.

Mbalula’s announcement that a network of ships can be built to transport cargo will not come off the ground as long as every other entity, and the country is in an economic turmoil where debt burdens are higher than what is allowed in the business world.

With SAA facing liquidation, and South Africa approaching junk status, with a possible recession on everyone’s lips, it is a waste of money and time to look at shipping as an option, informed sources.

One of the main reasons why the country’s economic situation can worsen further in 2019 is because the Treasury is in the hands of Africans – of the 55 chief directors there are only seven white men and ten white women

The Treasury has released dreadful news in a report indicating the breakdown of chief directors at the department.

Figures by Tito Mboweni indicate that of the 55 chief directors there are only seven white men and ten white women.

The other posts are filled by 25 black men and women, six coloured’s and seven Indians.

This means that only 30.9% of jobs are filled by whites while only one white holds a director-general’s post.

The report is considered by experts to be one of the main reasons why the country’s economic situation will deteriorate further in 2019.

With Ramaphosa’s inability to make Eskom and other state-owned industries profitable, the year is set to deliver dark times.
