Chairperson of the portfolio committee on small business development Ruth Bhengu applauded Zulu's swift action against the officials, saying corruption in government should be uprooted and those fingered in the forensic report should be criminally charged.
“History will judge us harshly if we fail to remove corrupt officials who sabotage government programmes designed to uplift those who are poor and struggling to get out of poverty,’’ Bhengu said. According to Bhengu, during oversight visits between 2014 and 2017 to KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Gauteng, Limpopo and Mpumalanga, the committee found that grants from the department that were meant for small, medium and micro-enterprises, as well as cooperatives, did not have a positive impact on the beneficiaries.
She said many frustrated entrepreneurs and cooperative members had struggled to"get off the ground", despite having received grants.
Her 2 she must fire herself
Really Is she the 10th one
Suspended, no doubt on full pay. Would love to see someone fired for theft.
A Minister has no right to suspend officials, on appeal she will be defeated 😕
Why suspend,dismiss them if you hv evidence
Factional battles have just started again
And after the election they will get promotion.
why pointing?
Too little too late. After 8 May there will be a new government and minister to deal with this graft!
And Ginger left herself as clean and unsuspended, whilst this happened under her watch. Wasnt this ministry meant to decipher taxpayers money without delivering a single item
They’re obviously going back after elections bangothuki
The fish rots from the head! If ANC is serious about corruption they should fire their entire NEC, then recruit new ppl based on different values and leadership standards!
Reminds me of the farmer story, with 10 baboons 🤔
Job hunting!!

Electionering...
She just want to give them fat pensions because after 8 May she will be opposition party
Why only suspension? We need prosecutions otherwise the scourge of corruption in government will never end.
