"And I'll raise your Pajero a BMW X5..."
When Royals play. We are not amused.
The Eastern Cape is once again pushing hard to get "The Worst Province. Ever" award this year. Showing your tax money is being wisely spent, we have the following fine bit of news about the joyrides among the provincial royalty :
Johannesburg - Two Eastern Cape traditional kings have damaged the brand-new luxury German cars the provincial government gave them last month, Dispatch Online reported on Tuesday. It said the two BMW X5s were now grounded and had been sent for repairs. The vehicles belonged to King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo of AbaThembu BakaDalindyebo and King Zwelonke Sigcawu of AmaGcaleka.
Fixing the two cars, which were insured, would cost R40 000. Two days after taking delivery of his luxurious car, Dalindyebo drove over a signpost about 20km from KwaZulu-Natal. Local Government and Traditional Affairs spokesperson Siki Wababa-Putini said the car had a damaged front wheel and suspension control arms, costing about R25 000.
Can't we get Chelsy Davy down to the EC to raise the bar a bit?
