"We all steal" Ace Magashule | South Africa
The issue is not whether the beneficiaries are children, or family etc, but whether they have an inside track. The easiest way to avoid all argument about this is simply to bar all family and connected parasites - if in fact they are not already so barred. Until now I have believed that all civil servants are regulated in exactly such fashion. If they are not, it should be enacted as a matter of urgency. There is no great difficulty in doing so; the tax legislation in fact has definitions for connected persons, where any person/entity remotely having something to do with you, is dragged into the tax nets. Parliament can easily borrow from that. Legislation dealing with corruption in fact contains such clauses as well. The problem is proving corruption, but in the case of civil servants there should be a presumption that dealings with the government, by connected persons, are fraudulent. The best way to express this presumption is by simply completely barring such activity.
It is beyond belief that it is even necessary to have a debate about this. Politicians have inside knowledge of governmental processes and money allocated to various ends. They can utilise this information in a myriad of ways to benefit their "clients". A simple example is the PPE contracts as pointed out by Steenhuisen. I wonder how many companies outside of the government sphere of influence benefited. The children of black politicians are amongst the most privileged members of society. Surely they are in a most advantageous position to get jobs outside their parents' sphere of influence. They will not suffer on account of such legislation. The ANC are now even poised to grab the property of whites to feather their nests. They want to divert the rest of the country into their grabbing paws with the maniacal insistence on black empowerment. Perhaps the real reason is because there is not enough taxpayer money left to feast on.
