        Public servants are self serving themselves with resources meant for changing lives for the best. From where we inherited democray n the government, we were supposed to be one of the best countries in the globe but corruption erode any opportunity to advancement

        The Government have been promising over and over to fix this problem in the rural schools, but they never do. I am so angry and disappointed that the ones that brought us freedom, are too corrupt to run the country properly! When will this change?

        It's totally unacceptable, when it's corruption that wins and the people that pays the price, every single time. But Zuma is still walking free! He is still lauded by the ANC!

        Hey NYT, what's with the South Africa focus just recently? Last week it was an article about our corrupt Deputy President. Is something happening we should know about?

        We need all the pressure on to make the government honour their responsibilities.

        There is no white genocide in South Africa👍🏿 But it is very telling that the idea of non-white children drowning in pit latrines doesn't phase you.

        Very, very sad and disturbing. I would happily donate to a cause that is legitimately going to fix this problem. 🙁😔😢
