Listen, my friend, if they were or are on a gravy train and they did their jobs properly, which allows for citizens to sit a bit on the gravy train, then yes , it will be some justification. BUT, citizens/taxpayers have to work their arses off and struggle to make ends meet. That's not humanly fair, rather, it's a gross, ugly scenario. Well, I hope the DA screws these redundant ministers and politicians.

It is high time to pay from their own pockets. If the lowest paid employees can pay their bonds, rentals, helpers, car instalments, groceries, school fees, rates and water, and others with the little salary they are earning how come the Ministers and their deputies cannot do the same from their fat checks. In my opinion that luxury must come to an end and they must start using their own salaries like any other person who is working and the government will be able to repair or maintain all the state properties that are no longer in use because of the horrible situation. The government will no longer rent the office building but use their own for free of charge. There are a lot of dilapidated government buildings that are ignored nationally.

Way too much spent by previous Gov. Changes are absolutely necessary,saving money is key. DA will make changes,but it will take time to correct the current chaos. SA needs to be patient. GNU has a lot of work to do and settle in new positions etc.

A minister is, fundamentally, a human being like everyone else and should be capable of managing their own affairs. If they lack this ability, they are unfit for their role. Public service demands empathy and a deep understanding of the people’s struggles, such as load shedding. This connection can drive ministers to address issues more swiftly and effectively. Furthermore, performance-based rewards are essential. Ministers who fail to improve the nation’s economic situation and living conditions, like the ongoing prevalence of shacks 30 years post-apartheid, do not merit rewards. Rewards should be reserved for tangible, positive outcomes that uplift society.

The so-called "generation z" of Kenya, has made a demand that the salaries and benefits of their parliamentarians be reduced. The demand is fair and sound.

Jamie, for me it's a matter of balancing the scales. Where a minister's position must correlate with the reality of south Africa. They cannot be adorned with luxury, while some citizens live in utter poverty (keeping in mind global remuneration/economic ratios). In principle, a leader is the last to eat. Some Kenyan stated that a long term solution will be to remove the money or control thereof from political governance. True, cause every tom, dick & harry always wants to enter politics. We fail the practicality of life, we have needs & wants, and by not affording ministers luxuries will inculcate the spirit of servant hood.

These ministers also have above-average salaries to pay for furniture, upkeep, etc. for the mansions that they now have in addition to their own private residences. Regardless of whether it's government property. If they think R50 000 to replace a curtain rail is reasonable, they're either corrupt or they need to touch grass. Maybe they'll appreciate the cost when they have to pay out of pocket. It's about the principle of the matter. Why should ordinary folks have to pay for a minister's top-of-the-range furniture when they can barely afford to buy bread? Also, it's basic common sense that the non-essentials need to be cut first. Why cut from expanded public works or property construction before cutting some of the many perks that ministers receive in addition to their very generous salaries? I'll be first in line to criticise the DA on MANY issues, but this isn’t one of them.
