Dale > Instead of hiring a $100,000 consultant and buying him a $50,000 vehicle, let's give that same money in $100 increments to 1,500 families near Timbuktu Try telling that to the ANC. iol.co.za >>There could be no justification for anyone to have free holidays at taxpayers' expense, and more so with millions of South Africans living in poverty, the Congress of SA Trade Unions (Cosatu) said on Tuesday. "While it is accepted that the president and deputy president remain in public office even when they are on private business, and that they still require adequate security protection, there must be limits on the amount of public money that is spent on their private activities," said spokesperson Patrick Craven. Cosatu was reacting to reports that Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, her family and Social Development Minister Zola Skweyiya's wife Thutukile Mazibuko-Skweyiya - accompanied by bodyguards and an air crew - flew to the United Arab Emirates for a five-day holiday in December on an SA Air Force jet at an estimated cost of R400 000 for the fuel alone.<<
