Spending on ministerial housing


23 August 2011

The latest attempt to focus attention on the ministerial housing is a barefaced move to embarrass Government and the Executive.

The Government had indicated in 2009 that it had planned to buy and upgrade housing for Ministers, Members of Parliament and top government officials.

At the time an amount of R150-million had been earmarked as planned expenditure on ministerial housing in line with Government’s budgetary and supply chain management process.

17 June 2011

The Sisulu family would like to express its sincerest gratitude for the support, words of comfort, kind gestures, condolence messages, flowers and tributes that carried us during the trying time following the passing of our beloved mother, MaSisulu.
