South Africans are NOT AT ALL happy with the recent revelation that South African Cabinet Ministers and their deputies don't have to fork out a cent for water and electricity. Our ministers are also NOT at all affected by load-shedding because each of their households has received a generator to ensure that they are never in the dark.

Cabinet ministers and deputies can now spend up to R800,000 when purchasing a new car. This figure is up from R700,000 as specified in 2019 Ministerial Handbook.
