Former Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini has issued a fiery broadside after her pension is blocked for wasteful and fruitless security expenditure.

A multimillion-rand irregular and wasteful security contract is at the centre of a growing row between ANC Women’s League president Bathabile Dlamini, the Social Development Minister Lindiwe Zulu and Sassa CEO Busisiwe “Totsie” Memela.reported that Dlamini’s pension has been blocked as part of a civil claim by Sassa for a refund of R4-million for a security contract to cover security protection for Dlamini and spokesperson Lumka Oliphant.

Dlamini’s pension has been blocked and she is angry. On Monday, 1 March, she issued a Twitter fusillade. “Should anything happen to me, you people who go round making noise that you were mentored, meanwhile you are cruel, selling out. Tell then where my pension is. I want it cause I can’t trade bloody diamonds. What are you doing? Here is a job looking at you,” she tweeted first. Then, she followed up: “It can’t be that women are continuously used to perform the cruel job of men.

The security was arranged after Dlamini and Oliphant reported they had received threats related to the rescue of drug mules from Brazil and the renewal of the grant payment tender where Absa and CPS competed against each other for the multi-billion-rand contract. The Auditor-General classified the security contract as a wasteful and fruitless expenditure. Security must be provided by the SA Police Service after a threat assessment.

Dlamini is without a Cabinet role but is arguably more politically powerful than she was before. The ANC Women’s League is growing and its branches are recognised as the most stable and organised of all the governing party’s related structures.
