Start cutting at the top, Mboweni

Finance Minister Tito Mboweni can sidestep the wrath of the unions by getting the president to cut all those useless portfolios and departments in government.

And the ministers and deputies and their equally incompetent staff and security details and the perks according to that ubiquitous “ministerial handbook”.

It will save half of the terrible waste of our tax money and keep the unions happy! Mazit, Sandton
