Scopa wants Balfour recalled from Botswana

The government is waking up quite late on Balfour. His fraud and corrupt prison deals are public knowledge, to everyone. Except the ANC it seems.

Lets do what China does. Execute corrupt politicians.

Please recall Balfour and rather send us Tshabalaba Manto who stole from patients at the Lobatse Hospital, and was often drunk. SA is very good at passing on its problems.

Thumbs up cmrd Sinudeity for supporting communism (China) and inversely ANC. At least you have seen the light.

OMG, Look another corruption case. Geez, that's helluva unusual. I think the quickest way of creating employment in SA, something that is desperately needed, is to create commissions of enquiries for all the corruption cases currently being dealt with. I reckon we could get to full employment like next month. Sydney, you are correct, I too stand with Sinu in her support of China's proactive assult on corruption. Our problem would be that we would run out of politicians. Wouldn't that be a bad thing??? Also, I am not sure that calling Balfour back into SA and redeploying him to one of the provinces with a new car and increased clothing allowance would be productive. Especially considering some of the more pressing issues we are faced with. Let us begin by just getting through the 50 year backlog of corruption cases first before we begin actually bringing back the blood suckers. Let's rather put that on hold or maybe redeploy him to a less strategic area like Guam or El Savador. Just a thought.

Gumbi: Only once we start executing corrupt politicians Sydney :)

Even though technically, Balfour is innocent until proven guilty, he should recuse himself from the diplomatic duties up until all the allegations against him have been cleared. remeber we are talking about a high level RSA representative in another country. How will the citizens of this country preceive RSA, Already they harbour the notion that the rainbow nation is curruption infested and a safe haven for criminals. NGCONDE, do the right thing and take a leave....

china officals wining and dining expenditure averages 227 Billion ZAR yearly...thats good communism..

There's a 50/50 chance of this happening,it depends of course if Balfour is still in favour with the current ANC bosses...... remember he was one of Mbheki's close allies as well there are those who silently want his head......he's walking a tightrope.

Spot on SCOPA,I honestly don't understand the reason why Balfour is still serving on our GOV.The guy is a completely useless in any structure of the gov.He was first in sports,he failed then correctional services,the less said about it the better.

I support our Gov but still don'understand why Balfour, manto, stofile,Nyanda just to name a few are still doing in the gov structures.there are a whole lot of competant ppl that can do the job and help take our beutiful country forward.

ANC is failing me on this one.

Our President also promised a performance management system on the GOV structures,perheps if this can be fast tracked then only then will we see this deployees who they really are.

All I can say is "BUUUULLLLSSS!!!!"

When the allegations that Balfour was involved in the catering tender scandal and considering the dimensions surrounding him (pun intended), the picture was vuluptiously clear.

Ngoako Modiba on November 24, 2009, 1:05 pm , hahahahhah very clever dude.

WE HAVE A NEW LEGAL DEFENCE! It's a winner... "African National Congress spokesperson Jackson Mthembu told the Star newspaper on Tuesday that "at this stage" Balfour would not be questioned.

"These are allegations, and to the best of my knowledge, everyone is innocent until proven guilty," he was quoted as saying."

So next time any criminal is under suspicion for a crime, he should not be questioned because he or she is innocent until proven guilty. It is that sort of mindless reasoning that characterises some statements from the ANC.

The real reason for Balfour's recall is to give him his R15million Handshake for his alleged invlovement in the Bribery and corruption.... another courtcase another enquiry and another slap on the wrist complemented with R15 million same take different cast.

Botswana must be sick of us, sending them our corrupt politicians.
