I was itching to do some creative time-wasting, so I figured that while I’m at it I’m going to do my little bit for South Africa, or at least what I believe to be in South Africa’s interest. So, why not pick on the biggest bully on the playground? Yes, that’s right, this time it’s the ANC who’s in my little dog box. (Oh yeah, you’re gonna get it now you bullies. My 3 readers and I are going to take you down!)

I’ve been keeping an eye on the rivers of money haemorrhaging out of the government coffers for idiotic reasons for some time now. What I saw inspired me to create this very simple infographic.

I hope y’all like it. Let me know what you think.

The version above is teensy, so please click here for the PDF or here for a higher resolution JPEG.

Edit: (9/11/2009) Thanks to Randy for linking here. Since creating this graphic the spend on luxury cars has increased by a few more millions. I’ve unfortunately been too busy to update. I’ll try get round to it. To get a good idea of how our government is wasting money while millions of poor people starve, get sick and live with unimaginable violence have a look at the Wasteful Expenditure Monitor – an initiative of the Democratic Alliance, one of our opposition parties. The total listed on the monitor currently exceeds R318 million, or enough to build more than 6000 houses which could house more than 24,000 people.
