The handbook was controversially used by ministers in the past to justify lavish travel and car expenses, while the country's economic growth remained stagnant and unemployment continued to rise.
Like many South Africans, the time had come for ministers - whose excesses were often taxpayer-funded - to tighten their belts. Mchunu described the proposed cutbacks by the executive as sacrifices. The members and their spouses travelling by plane should also sit in economy class for all official domestic flights – this also applied to international travel where the trip was less than two hours.
Mchunu said the state would no longer bear any costs in respect of security upgrades done at the member’s private residence. The minister said the department would be talking with their counterparts at the provincial level to implement similar cost-cutting measures.
Just not enough to make them feel the difficulty of the rest of us. Some ministers are recycled thieves and looters. They’ve stashed away enough to not notice any ‘massive’ cut
Announcing is one thing let’s see in 6 - 12 months. I am assuming all these announcements are in preparation for the next credit rating review? I am sure the agencies want to see action and not just words!!!’
I bet none of the cuts involve electricity.
A R700 000 car is a 'Sacrifice' according to these politicians. 🤣🤣
