Payed for Being in Prison!

Former eNdumeni municipality mayour, Thandeka Nukani, her driver Peter Khumalo and her boyfriend Bongani Shangase were denied bail by the Utrecht magistrate’s court last week but she is continuing pocketing her monthly salary of R18661 despite the languishing in jail. The package includes a R17830 salary and R831 cell phone allowance.

She is being overwhelmed and saluted by the tax payers’ money for being in prison and facing charges of conspiracy to commit murder and allegedly conspired to poison her nephew. Who gets a cell phone allowance whilst still in prison? I have no doubt that if she was an ordinary accused, and not in the governmental position a different procedure will be followed.

Municipal manager David Cebekhulu said: “We will continue paying her salary because she has not been found guilty. It is her party (ANC) or the MEC that can take a decision.” The municipality is being thankful and proud of what she’s accused of. She was denied bail which is an indication that there is something fishy about this conspiracy. It is such nonsense and an insult to tax payers. What will happen when she is found guilty?

She is no longer serving the community because she was obviously not a suitable candidate. The words of Cebekhulu are proof that our governmental system and governmental representatives are not considerate about the people. It shows that if you’re in the cabinet in South Africa money is in abundant, and you need not to work for it.
