This whilst we are struggling to find jobs or put food on our tables!!! This is Utter Bullshit!!!

But they did fund the funeral

Why was any of our tax payer money spent? This makes me do angry 😡😡🤬 thisoney could be used to fix hospitals. Or schools

She must show us the invoices. If the speculated figures ain't correct, give us something in Black and white.

Yet they claim there is no money for public servants increasesSIES anc evil gvt

Corruption is already alarming Let's go to the books... Hawks hurry up, probe

This allegations will catch up with her at some point

Flood victims still in halls ... money donated to people who afford to Bury themselves MILLONS donated TO SHEMBE CHURCH for votes .. wait for nest elections to realise that we are no fools

If it was good for mr Mandela's..do not fix something that is not broken?... or is there some integrity to be found in SAns a country where witchcraft is protected as religion...and dead people are more important than the living?

And also spending on shimbi pilgrimage. I really don't understand people in this province, tomorrow the same charlatans will be blaming HF Verwoerd for the kaka on the streets of Durban, Homeless flood victims, inkabi, taxi violence, etc.

Show us proof then.

Shameful indeed

Did you request proof of payment

Why is she denying and not saying the correct amount

They simply stole the funds like they did with Mandela funeral. These fools.

Ths anc useless if isn't wasteful expenditure is corruption

She must deny it like Ramaphosa denied Marikana killings and ignore this like Ramaphosa ignored the PhalaPhalaFarmGateCriminal. Our leaders should learn from CyrilRamaphosa

This funeral was more like a wedding people dancing acting the fool, the 'bride' stating 'he was A liar and a cheat' thousands of rands spent while the families of boksburg at memorial basically forgotten. Totally disgusting really

Why would they even involve themselves in that rich guy's funeral when the province recently got hit by devastating floods?

Even if dats da case KULUNGILE....

Nazo

Pretty easy to prove. Show the receipts.

Nixakwe yin.

But truth will be out
