Agreed, and the MEC has raised concerns directly with the board and the relevant portfolio committee in the legislature has requested to board to account for the salary increase. So itโs clear the โDA governmentโ isnโt for this increase.
I feel terribly sorry for the people who are being evicted, but at the same time, what do we do about criminal syndicates that sell land to them?

The point I was raising was not about Simon raising a issue, the point I was making was that the salary increase was not a DA decision as was implied by his tweet and I stated to the contrary the DA provincial government is acting against the increase, thatโs the point here.
Unscrupulous is an understatement.
