4. None of this would have come to light if the @Our_DA hadn't asked questions in parliament and in various councils about why municipalities were putting money into VBS.
5. Service delivery in the municipalities who deposited in VBS has been severely impaired by these actions.
A few points to note about VBS: 1. The deposits made by municipalities were illegal in terms of s7(3) of the MFMA.

3. Not one municipal official has been held responsible.
DA leader Mmusi Maimane has launched his party's national petition against the increase in VAT announced in the budget speech - saying ordinary South Africans should not be forced to pay for the looting of the ANC government.
