Letter to the Editor

Mood: Always smilin'
Listening to: Remix of Beat it - they should beat him

This morning's edition (11/1/06) of Morning Live on SABC 2 carried a story about how our children do not have enough chairs in their classrooms.  This story is sad enough, but the fact that our Deputy President went on a little trip with her family at the cost to the taxpayer of over R400 000 leaves me with the question: Why wasn't that money spent on chairs?  Surely our Deputy President can afford to fund her own holiday, as do most other South Africans.

I know we all look forward to a Christmas bonus, but a half million rand Christmas holiday is taking things a bit far, especially in light of the plight of our children.

It appears the Gravy train has become the Gravy Plane.
