The DA will today lead a picket outside the ministerial estate in Bryntirion, Pretoria, against what it terms the luxurious lifestyles of ministers, while ordinary South Africans face economic hardship.

The party has accused ministers and deputy ministers of living like rock stars while ordinary South Africans are facing rolling blackouts, crime, poverty and a rising cost of living.“It’s a slap in the face for the millions of South Africans who live below the poverty line.

Many of them are unemployed in an environment in which the economy is shrinking. Billions of rand are spent on properties or luxury vehicles and now on generators and these people get free water compared to South Africans who are facing a spiraling cost of living and struggling to put food on the table. This is one of the largest cabinets in the world.”

Let them picket outside Alan Winde's house. He enjoys the same luxury.

How will a picket change anything?
