@GTalevi Still, SA effective tax burden comparable to UK tax burden. Except in UK, despite declining quality of services, paying taxes actually mean something.
. @helenzille why is the DA supporting the Human Settlements budget in Parly after previously threatening to withhold support due to Minister Simelaneโs corruption allegations? What has materially changed?
@NewStreetsSA Agreed, but it is a bit of a chicken-or-egg scenario where trains simply arenโt reliable/accessible enough to fully facilitate this. Instead of transitioning to train, this then becomes a punitive measure for drivers
@MbekezeliMB Exactly. This is indeed a fair dismissal and the views of the DA are mischaracterising the affair. We can admit that and also challenge the retention of other Ministers committing much more egregious offences. But wrong is wrong, and @helenzille isnโt grasping that
@helenzille 3. Further, Whitfield supplied a preemptive apology letter to the President, indicating that the former knew the trip to be potentially at odds with the wishes of the President.
This is a simple disciplinary issue.
Good afternoon Premier @Mandla_Ndl :
Is there any progress with maintenance and grass-cutting along Enos Mabuza Dr in Mbombela? I understand itโs a municipal competency but Iโve received no responses there.
Much appreciated
