State’s salary bill milking state coffers dry, yet Jan Van Riebeeck and whites are regularly chosen as scapegoats for ANC regime failures

Posted on Leave a comment

The state’s salary bill is consuming money that the country needs to keep going, with regular increases while unions are demanding larger portions. Yet the private sector and white people of the country are regularly scapegoated for the country’s problems.

Everyone knows this and the government recognizes it and makes promises to act. Yet nothing good happens. The government’s salary bill currently accounts for 34% of the national budget. This means that R340 out of every R1 000 spent by the government goes towards salaries.

Salaries more than tripled from R154 billion to R518 billion in the period 2006/07 to 2018/19. Government officials earning more than R1 million a year increased from 9,600 to 29,000 during the same period.

Yet, the private sector is regularly lauded as the biggest scapegoat for the ANC’s failures. The private sector is the largest job creator in South Africa, despite huge barriers created largely by the state.

The gratuities will be paid to former ministers and MPs who completed at least a five-year term in office, with four months’ of pensionable salary being paid out for every five years of service completed.

This means that former ministers like Jeff Radebe and Derek Hanekom stand to earn at least R4.8 million each.

According to the paper, earning this package does not preclude politicians from accepting other public sector positions, or returning to parliament at a later date.

DA MP John Steenhuisen said that the packages were originally instituted to help MPs, but has since turned into an unnecessary and expensive benefit.Continue reading…

ANC-regime is failing needy children – Kempton Park child welfare closes its doors following a salary dispute, over 2000 children in the community are being affected by the suspension – ANC officials get’s to drive luxury cars and have houses revamped on state’s cost

Over 2000 children in the community are affected by the suspension of the services and the number is exclusive of the families the society assists.

Staff at Child Welfare Kempton Park downed tools on January 28 due to financial challenges, Kempton Express reports.

A notice at the society’s premises reads: “Dear clients kindly note that our services are temporarily suspended indefinitely as from January 28, due to financial challenges faced by the Child Welfare Kempton Park.”

The media spoke to the society’s board treasurer Nthombisine Mhlambi, who said: “The staff hadn’t been paid three months’ salary because there were no funds.”

Mhlambi also told the media staff were only paid a month’s salary on February 4 but couldn’t confirm when the services would resume.

Staff members, however, told the media they would not return to work until they were back paid for the other months they were not paid.
