msindisifengu He deserves honour save for being kot taken seriously by those who must enforce the law.
msindisifengu Imagine getting an award for telling the country that already knows that it's being looted dry by those in political positions of power and public officials. Beam me up Scottie ain't no intelligent life in this planet...
msindisifengu This has to be the most patronising gesture. I wonder how would he appreciate this award knowing his 'sterling work' has not bee respected through compliance.
msindisifengu The poor guy just goes around, check if invoice corresponds with bank statement, and make a statement! All bark but no bite...
msindisifengu I am confused. In this corruption era but this auditor - general always gives corrupt departments good audit 🙈
AbutiJosef msindisifengu He runs The most ineffective chapter 9 institution well.
msindisifengu Sadly because such profound experts r ignored, many look 4 working environments where their knowledge & advice r sought. They migrate mostly 2 1st world countries = brain drain Unfortunately our leaders do not fathom d negative impact of a lack of honest experts on d job market

msindisifengu He's doing a good job. Unfortunately he's too big for this government which is not using his findings to correct things.
msindisifengu His audit results are always ignored by the corrupt MYANC . Sad
