The list of perks for our members of parliament, ministers, and deputy ministers is actually laughable.
A modern-day startup job listing often talks about added perks of the job.
What else can they take us for, other than the more than R1 million a year earned by an ordinary MP, just over R2,4 million a year by ministers, and just over R2 million a year for their deputies?The government has splurged millions on pampering MPs at state-owned houses in Cape Town, including splashing out nearly R1.8m on new beds in 2019, spending R1.6m on transport for them and their children and sprucing up their houses to the tune of R51m.
What a relief that our MPs don’t have to splurge on their own beds. How can one be expected to govern if one can’t get a proper night’s rest? They’re basically that guy that runs all of his expenses through his business with us footing the bill.
