Briefing the media in Parliament, DA chief whip John Steenhuisen said the expenditure was despite an assurance given to political parties that the costs for the presidential inauguration and opening session of the sixth Parliament would be kept to an absolute minimum.
"While the South African public should be incorporated in the inauguration of a president, it is unconscionable that the presidency will spend hundreds of millions to transport people in taking precious financial resources from local municipalities to find this jamboree." "Our municipalities should be providing basic services to South Aficans, not bussing delegates to political events. It is incredibly irresponsible for the presidency to redirect monies which could be used to fix potholes, provide water and sanitation to communities, to essentially rent-a-crowd for the inauguration."
If true, fcking bonkers.
Guaranteed it doesn't cost SO MUCH some body in the ANC is getting a share of the money .please don't vote ANC . YOUR VOTE IS SECRET .
Any money spent on political parties is a waste, money can be put to better use
if this calculation was done by the man in this picture i dont believe it
