OUTA Reports Back
The latest cleverly-named newsletter, "Inside OUTA", from the Organisation
Undoing Tax Abuse (formerly the Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance) is chock
full of interesting –sometimes depressing– articles, including:
- Feedback from Chairman Wayne Duvenage
- Struggling municipalities:
Not enough customers pay their municipal bills. Municipalities owe
Eskom hundreds of millions of rand and can’t make ends meet. So for some
municipalities, the solution is to charge those customers who already pay, even
more.
- Tshwane contract: The City of Tshwane suspended a R30 million contract after an OUTA investigation.
The project was worth R2 million; it was initially budgeted at R8 million
but ultimately signed off at R30m plus VAT! The entire project was
apparently subcontracted, at a total cost of only R1.5 million!
- OUTA moves to strike SAA & SABC conspirators off
the roll of Chartered Accountants: Both the SABC and SAA have good governance policies but it’s essential
for qualified financial professionals to implement them. The responsible CA's should be held accountable
for not doing so.
- Funds leak away from basic water supplies:
While some poor communities are still waiting for access to basic water
infrastructure, government has instead diverted some of those funds to
big-ticket high-profile projects.
- OUTA and SANRAL butt heads
in court:
In May, OUTA barred at least 55 of SANRAL’s summonses on e-toll debts to the
value of R2 million. They will defend you too, if you
join as a member
for a contribution of your choice.
- Why does government need a beach in Knysna?
The Knysna local municipality has issued a by-law which allows any
government department to take over a beach. No-one can explain why. Nuclear?
- The Party millions that aren’t for partying:
Public funding for political parties this year is R140.7 million. From
Parliament. Plus more in some provinces.

Restaurant Review by Judith Back to top
**** Silver Pine Spur, Upper Level, Morning Glen Shopping Centre
After a really good Speakathon at Ernest Ullmann Park with Transformers
Toastmasters, I was hungry. We dropped in at the Spur and I ordered a rare rump
steak with spinach. The spinach was a mistake as it was full of flour, so it got
sent back. The steak was excellent as was the Van Louvern Chardonnay. The hot chocolate went down well for my partner.. As usual the
service was good and the venue was warm!
Contact Details for Silver Pine Spur.
***** Pappadums, Upper Level, Morning Glen Shopping Centre
There was another couple there enjoying lunch who came to us as they were
leaving to say the only problem they had was the food is so good that they keep
coming back! Very much why we do as well! We indulged in Chicken Hyderabadi,
which arrived somewhat undercooked but was quickly rectified, and Lamb Biriyani.
The chicken was great as was the Biriyani. The Lassi Mango was declared
excellent and my Leopards Leap Chenin Blanc was not only excellent but well
priced.
The staff and owners are great and attentive, making it always a pleasure to
be there.
Contact Details for Pappadums.

Civic Tip: Is Your Car Roadworthy?
The Automobile Association of South Africa writes:
"It's a crime to operate an unroadworthy vehicle on our roads. Would your
car pass? Use this quick guide to find out!"
Rust? Doors? Windscreen?
Windows opening and closing? Lights and indicators? Tread on tyres? Brakes?
Chassis? Exhaust? Engine compartment? Interior?

How Sugar Affects the Immune System
Refined sugar suppresses our immune system. Does it not then make sense that
when there are colds and flu going around, you should become extra cautious
about giving your children any sort of sugar?
Try this experiment. When you feel a cold coming on, go on a binge and eat a
tub of ice-cream or a slab of your favourite chocolate. Although you might get
immediate satisfaction you will end up feeling worse the next day. Why is this?
It’s because these items are packed with unhealthy sugars.

"What did you learn at school today, sweetie?"
"Mummy, we learned how to make babies!"
"Oh.. um.. er... ah.. you aren't doing Biology yet, are you?"
"No, it was in English class!"
"So, um.. ah.. how does one make babies?"
