Spreading the wealth

Imagine what R 26 million would do for the poor of the region. School books, clinics, primary healthcare, libraries?  But no, in her infinite wisdom, MEC Majodina is going to spend the money on parties and celebrations, including Worker's day, Africa day and R3.7 million to celebrate Nelson Mandela "as a traditional leader".  A lovely opportunity for the comrades to eat, drink and be merry and pass on catering tenders to friends and family.
