House Chair, Airports Company SA, ACSA, a transport state-owned enterprise, SOE, recently celebrated its 25th anniversary with a gala dinner that could run into the million of rands.
This extravagant event, which took place at the luxurious Sandton Convention Centre with guests enjoying the very best that money can buy.
This is particularly concerning as ACSA has been one of the state-owned enterprises, SOEs, mentioned by name during the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into state capture.
In an environment where the South African economy is in dire straits, with record high unemployment and low growth, this kind of self-indulgent exercise is nothing more than a waste of money.
