Time to waddle off into the sunset
Niamaat Gamildien, she of questionable strategic vision has decided to pack her bags and head to greener pastures after looting the kitty directing the pork laden SS Cancer Association (CANSA) for the past year. Under her sterling leadership the Cancer Association has evolved from a charity aiding those afflicted with Cancer to a charity aiding those CANSA staff afflicted by a low bank balance. Witness this fine breakdown of exemplarary financial management :
[Of the] R64-million raised by the association, less than R7-million had been allocated to patient care. Almost half, R31,6-million, had been used for salaries for its 300 employees, including about R1-million for Gamildien. (IOL)
Now that's what I'm talking about!! Of course there are always those jealous of "success" and this story is no different. Apparently the former head of CANSA called these salaries "obscene"! Bah, some people know nothing about effectively wallowing in the tough self motivation!
Waddle on Niamaat!!

Dude, NGOs are frequently like that - I had a lot of contact with several South African ones for the past few years, and from what I could see at the time, this is very very common. And the public and gov keep on giving! Unbelieveable!!! Internal politics is also often a huge factor in them - its actually pretty sickening. It would be interesting if the public were told exactly how the do gooder organizations were run and what money went where and then seeing how much money they would still receive.
