Some of us are independent thinkers.
We rad a sentence “New Beginnings Care Centre has been involved in a leasing debacle with the Department of Public Works for the past 15 years”, and immediately wonder how can anything like a simple lease agreement not be resolved in say 12 to 18 months.
Read the sentence again, slowly. If you missed it, the words “Department of Public Works” are the key to the riddle.
Let me highlight other Public Works debacles (linked to gross incompetence): We all know about the monstrous expenditure (waste) of tax-payers’ money on Nkandla. All to do with security – soccer fields, helipads, under-ground bunkers (if we go for nuclear energy this is handy to have!) and my personal favourite – a tuck shop!
This is the place to hide in an invasion!
Of course, the building of much-needed schools never seems to be as high on the agenda as the President’s security requirements.
Then there are the usual qualified audits highlighting the misuse/waste/unaccounted for large sums of money. No one gets dismissed for this (normal in government).
Just imagine how many homes for the elderly, special schools for the disabled, child welfare and other centres could be catered for if our money was used efficiently.
I recommend that the department kicks out all the inhabitants of New Beginnings (and turn the usual blind eye to the vagrants that move in).
The publicity from this government callousness and stupidity will be flashed around the world.
There will, hopefully, be mass dismissals and Public Works will be cowered into doing its job of building proper, functioning homes for the destitute and needy – our money being used correctly. Wishful thinking.
Maybe next year election time!
Simple, give the property to New Beginnings – it’s probably not on the shambolic fixed assets register anyway.
