Taxpayers dig even deeper for lavish ministerial perks

On Sunday, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced his much-anticipated cabinet.
It boasts 77 ministers and their deputies.
It's the largest in democratic South Africa.
And this means taxpayers will have to dig even deeper into their
pockets to foot the bill of the lavish ministerial perks.
Newzroom Afrika's Juniour Khumalo has the details.
Tune into Newzroom Afrika DStv channel 405 for more.

Just shows that Ramaphosa doesnt care a damn about the poor citizens of our country which has to carry a heavier burden. To many ministers . Dont expect anything to change. He will ruin our country even further.

[@martieschutte]

It should be such a positive proof if the ministers can show the people by saving on cars etc. As our people live in poverty. Just saying 😢cut on the lavish life style - and give to the poor. 😢

Here we go. Rip off the taxpayer before a cent has been spent on the country. Now each of them will have to refurnish and redecorate. Pull in your belt South Africa the bloated cabinet of Ramaphala is letting theirs out, you may be hungry but they must eat first.

Ramaphosa never loved South Africans instead of reducing the cabinet and their life style he added more

[@ntuthukomthimkhulu8559]

Let them speak louder even now ...we wana see something.

[@Thembelani291]

All along i thought ministers live in their private homes

[@MzamoAdoons372]

That is why you have been voting the ANC

[@moretsiseleke7781]

That is really unnecessary because they already have their own cars and homes, correct me if I'm wrong!....

[@TsheM]

Reduce now!!!!

[@leonhue722]

And sadly.... the people never get to experience a better life for all owing to arrogant ,corrupt and egotistical politicians.

DA sold the Tswane majors home and built low cost housing with the money. Several families now have homes

[@Christoz9]

😂is that even legal? Can you sell a state owned house

[@yr2180]

@@Christoz9 of course you can. It’s the property of the municipality. If you are in charge of the budget you can sell it and use the money for something else. It’s not rocket science

[@Christoz9]

@@yr2180 when a new mayor who is not from the DA wants a mayoral house that he is entitled to. The city must now purchase a new house for a higher price 😂 what a circus
