All we get is talk, no action

CORRUPTION: WHAT SA NEEDS IS SOMEONE OR BODY TO SAVE US FROM GOVT

- ISAAC MASHABA

Someone or some organisation must save us from our government. With all the talk of curbing corruption, theft and the uncontrolled plundering of government coffers, isn't it time President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed our own department of government expenditure?

Not to sound too American or create the impression we are copying the hated Americans, we could name it the department of corrupt expenditure (Doce).

After all, how can we like the nation that dared cut off its foreign aid (read: money) to South Africa. With the threats made against them by some of our ministers and our SA National Defence Force's nonexistent prowess, they are no doubt shaking in their shoes.

How dare the Americans act so nasty towards our superpower government of national disunity (GND)? Who do they think they are? We don't need them except when we call on them to give us money to fill (and then plunder) our state's coffers.

We should reciprocate and cut off our massive funding to them. That will teach them a lesson they will never forget. We can also use our influence and get Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Cuba and some others to refrain from giving aid money to the US.

Our own Doce - if run by people with honesty and integrity - will no doubt expose and uncover a lot of our government's shenanigans.
