FORGET SERVICE DELIVERY—SOUTH AFRICA’S MAYORS NOW MEASURE POWER BY THE PRICE OF THEIR CARS.
This is a national DISGRACE. While your taps run dry and your streets crumble, the politicians tasked with fixing it are crying over a “paltry” R700,000 car allowance. Emalahleni councillors are publicly WHINING because they can’t buy a new BMW or Mercedes on your dime—they demand the limit be DOUBLED to R1.5 million.
Remember how it used to be? ANC stalwarts like Mac Maharaj drove a VW Jetta. Jeremy Cronin drove his own Toyota Corolla. They served. Now, the WORSE a municipality performs, the MORE its leaders demand. Look at the evidence: Madibeng’s mayor rolls with AK-wielding bodyguards who reportedly shoot first. Meanwhile, councillors across Gauteng owe municipalities over R165 MILLION in unpaid bills.
This is a sick, hidden pattern. They are not public servants—they are our new masters, living in luxury built on your suffering. The Citizen suggests forcing every official into a locally-made Toyota Corolla Cross. They scream because it’s not about transport—IT’S ABOUT STATUS. They profit while you pay.
The silence from the top is DEAFENING. Who approved this greed? Who looks the other way?
The politicians upgrading their vehicles are steering the country straight into a ditch.
