MEC quits over Merc

Johannesburg - Gauteng agriculture and rural development MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko has resigned amid the controversy over a government-procured Mercedes Benz stolen from her house, the provincial government said on Friday.

In addition, the chief financial officer who advised her during the process of purchasing the car has been suspended.

"I sincerely regret this incident and apologise to the people of Gauteng. Consequently, I hereby step down as a Member of the Executive Council in the Gauteng Provincial Government," she said in a statement.

Her resignation comes after The Star reported the car was purchased and then taken home on a Friday without insurance or a tracking device.

It was stolen the same weekend, when her husband was hijacked in their driveway, the report said.

Wilbert says... Happy Even if sanctions affect ordinary Zimbabweans; why should they be denied their basic and fundamental right to free elections? Ms Pillay was in Zimbabwe to address the country's never ending problem of politically motivated violence. The violence is getting worse as the date of fresh elections approaches. We all know the root cause of the violence - this is Mugabe's ruthless attempt to deny ordinary Zimbabweans their right to freely choose the nation's leaders and to stay power regardless of the democratic wishes of the people. Mugabe has vowed there will be no regime change in Zimbabwe. Free and fair elections are ultimately about regime change; Mugabe has to put that in his pipe and smoke it. It is totally intolerable that the whole nation should be held to ransom by a power hungry tyrant. Mugabe has given all manner of feeble excuses for frustrating all efforts to have democratic reforms; the demands to have sanctions lifted is but one of these excuses. Still they are just that - feeble excuses. The right to free elections is a basic right and not to be turned into a conditional one by linking it to something else. Read the article...
