Back then it was a mere R65-million scandal. Today it has ballooned into a R247-million affront to the South African public.

It's an exercise in "spot the bullshit" when comparing it to the public protector's report.

It doesn't help when the president nor the majority of SA can't read. This report will just be dismissed my the ANC the bathroom and Zuma will give SA the finger again whilst he collects his next R200 mil for passing the elections.
