It not that long ago when the members of the parliment and their flashy cars hit the headlines. To make a few examples of those ministers who are at the list of those embezzling taxpayers' money are; minster of National Planning Mr Trevor Manuel who drives a car worth R1.2 millions in the total sum of R42.6 millions spent on ministers' expensive cars. Julius Malema who is famous for his mouth which he can't keep it shut also drives a luxurious landrover.
Julius "Juju" Malema's landrover,and below the landrover it's the house bought earlier last year in Sandton, Johannesburg suburbs
As a result people have decidedto take the matter to the road and strike, for example it was reported in the Gagasi 99.5 fm yesterday that tha people of Umtubatuba have decide that enough is enough they can not tolerate to being ignored by the government who are busy embezzling the money which should be helping in the service diliver. They are complaining that if they only get water atlaest twice a day, in the morning and in the afternoon just before the livestock get hold of the water. What even worse is that they get water form the ruuning, unclaened river.
this slide shows the situation as is, the woman is above is colloecting the water from a running river. the water is definately contaminated her family is at risk of getting cholera and other diseases realted with dontaminated water.
the other strike took place in Orange farm, surbabs in Johannesburg where it got really ugly when the residences burn tyres and throw stones to the police officers, suddenly the police officers shoot withte rubber bullets to disperse the angry crowd. And that alone clearly shows that South Africa is still far from closing the gap between the poor and the rich.
When the angry crowd burns tyres an dblock the functioning of the road during strike ocassions.
The situation turns to that ugly when the striking crowd clashing with the police officers.
The truth is South African is a capitalism country in disguise, and people are still going to vote and get nothing from what they had been promise, because the corruption and embezzling of money within the government official is something far from the end.
Peace out! Just a view, no hard feelings from a "Frank Talker".

And it has come as a suprise to most South African that Malemacan aford such an expensive car after all he is not a minister, he is just a president of the youth leugue and which somehow the salary can never support all the things that he owns including the house he bought in sandton worth R3.6 millions, whereas in February 2009 he took out the bond of R850 000,00 meaning he has taken two bonds in two consecutive years 2009 and 2010
