DA Shadow Minister for Public Service and Administration, Leon Schreiber, has lashed out at President Cyril Ramaphosa’s plans to include another ministerial portfolio to his Cabinet, stating that it would likely cost taxpayers an extra R37.24 million, making a significant dent in the country’s fiscus.
“And don’t forget the four luxury vehicles that will be purchased using taxpayers’ money, at a combined cost of R3.2 million. Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has quietly increased the cap on vehicle costs to R800 000 each,” he said.“These new Cabinet cadres will, of course, also get free water and electricity at each of their two official residences up to a maximum cost of R60 000 per year, per house – for a total of R240 000,” he added.
