Randolph If anyone thought Jacob Zuma, our ex-deputy president, was corrupt, take a look at the misuse of power his replacement, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, has displayed.
Starting with a "business trip" to the value of R700 000 (about $100 000), she then abused her privilege to pay for her doctor to accompany them – on another flight – to the value of R10 000. "Business trip" is in quotes because she travelled with her husband and children. Right.
Anyway, her latest stunt has resulted in the unfair disciplining of an employee of a retail outlet, who refused to close the store to the general public so that she could buy a lounge suite for R15 000.
I would like to officially state my opinion on this matter: it doesn't matter who you are, whether president, deputy president, richest person in the world, or just another person in the street. If you behave like a twat, I'll call you a twat to your face.
Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, my laundry needs ironing.
