Why you were so quiet about this

Why would public servants be getting grants.

Vele it was unsustainable

Does this mean what I think it means? That salary earning public servants have been receiving social grants? Aikona!

Rather suspend all ministerial salaries until we get some action on corruption.

Cost the TAXPAYER not government... This is theft and criminal charges must be laid..

eastsidelouw And a public servant will still vote for this rubbish 🤣🤣🤣

Why is this one still a Minister 😏

If they are public servants, it means they are employed so why are they receiving grants in the first place? 🤔

Yes
