Johannesburg - National Treasury and the Public Service and Administration Departments have been taken to task over two different thresholds for ministerial cars, R700 000 and R800 000. Treasury’s acting accountant-general Karen Maree last month announced that the price threshold for the procurement of official vehicles for members of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s executive were revised from R700 000 to R800 000 inclusive of VAT and security features.
The instruction, which came into effect on November 18, means that all official vehicles purchased by national and provincial government departments should be purchased in line with the guidelines for members of the executive. The instruction also prohibits members of the executive and heads of their departments from buying cars higher than the set price limit.
”Members of the executive are further prohibited from making an additional personal financial contribution to purchase a higher-priced vehicle or utilising a negotiated trade-in value to purchase a vehicle of a higher price while technically not exceeding the set price limit,” the document says.
I see Ministers driving their existing X5's, 7series, Sclass,Q7's,Range Rovers etc until wheels fall off. Can you imagine them racing up and down the highways in 3series, Cclass & A4's blue light flashing? Thanks Minister & Team.
There shouldn't be. They should be car pooling or using public transport like the rest of us working class.
