"No fire brigades in Nkandla. Best thing we know is to take the bucket put it in water and pour it on the fire" said Phiyega at the government's Nkandla report briefing today. The engineers were not present and as per Ramlakan, "the use of the term swimming pool came later in the project. The initial request was for fire fighting capability. If you want to know why there is a fire pool, you need to ask the engineers".
I have heard about dazzle them with brilliance, I have heard about baffle them with bullshit. I can't say I have a phrase coined for what the Ministers who reported today on Nkandla did.
My curiosity is, who do they expect to be carrying buckets, to put out a massive fire on the thatched Nkandla roofs. The secured access leaves neighbours unable to be of any help if they chose to help. The fact that they were (the neighbours) also moved as they themselves were a security risk, leaves me wondering how many would even want to help should there be a fire. Look at the picture and I am sure you will have an opinion.
The good news is we might have taken them all out of context. So as Nxesi said, "copies of the report are available on the GCIS website. If you want to fully understand the report, read the report in context"
