It’s called accountabi­lity

-

IT seems as if there are people in the government and in state institutio­ns who are hellbent on making sure that the “good story” is merely hot air.

ANC deployees are a disappoint­ment and the party leadership is failing to call them to order.

Minister of Social Developmen­t Bathabile Dlamini acquired security personnel to protect her children, at taxpayers’ expense.

This is despite the fact that the state is already providing protection services for her.

Any extra security services not covered in the ministeria­l handbook should be paid for by the minister herself.

As a public servant, she should lead by example. After all, she is in charge of a crucial portfolio that is responsibl­e for providing a safety net to the public.

The minister should be held responsibl­e for her actions. She owes it to the public to do so. — Tom Mhlanga, Braamfonte­in
