My tax money, my party. When and where does it start? Because I'm surely not paying for something I can make use of, so I must be invited. The invite is probably still in the mail ....

You get what you vote for ......... But still the masses are blind to the ANC habits. (Pity we can stop paying our taxes to boycott this!!!)

Let them 'bring and braai' like normal people, or will the whole country be invited to partake. I could do with a free meal. (Sorry, it's not free, I paid for it)!

I HAVE NO WORDS FOR THESE MODERN DAY THIEVES! ROBBING THE COUNTRY BLIND!!!!!

I sincerly hope this is not going to be paid with Taxpayer monies as that is both morally wrong and repugnant - how can the ANC use tax monies to celebrate and promote itself.. One must assume then that the DA will receive a similar amount to celebrate its next milestone

This party will be the beginning of the South African Spring. The poor are going to be angry but so angry at the leaders, and then Zuma’s prediction on that the ANC will rule till Jesus comes, will happen for them. These people at the top are not aware of how desperate the people are and they are not going to stand for this FU attitude of the politicians. It is going to take just one man or woman with credibility to bring the ANC down on this party of 100 years. This waste of money, this is going to be the downfall of this administration and maybe the even the ANC! Too many things are being done wrong by the leaders. The greed is going to consume them and their children. They do not see all the things they are doing wrong. The good life is blinding and making their hearts weak for money and good life. And it is not a white man running the country with all this looting going on, it is the ANC that is failing the people. Ubuntu is dying with these people in government. It is time the people choose the leaders and not the people at the top already taking a lot just for them and their family and friends, choosing each other so they can steal and loot more!

Is this really necessary? who cares about a function, that money can be put to good use. Please get your priorities right. R400m ??? Guys, you need to vacate government this is just too much, this is our money, tax payers. This money can be put into Education, health, housing the list go on and on. From my point of view the celebrations are not even necessary, and will not bring investment and jobs. Have you informed the guys in informal settlements who go to bed without food about your lavish party, I dare you to try. We vote for you and this is your solution to the country's problems?!!??!

Where can we go to protest against this??? I don't support the ANC so why must my money be used for this?????

@ P, 10:40: I totally agree with you.to celabrate the ANC's 100th anniversary with R400m for dancing, is irresposible. It would have been better to create new houses named " ANC's century city block" and better sanitation for the people

I DON'T PAY TAX FOR THESE THIEVES TO PARTY ON!!!

how many houses for the poor would that have built, now that would have been a celebrtion!!!!!

I'm not going to pay my tax... these fools are wasting our hard earned money!

Tell that to all the people you are denying an education, healthcare or housing that this money could have been used for. This is an absolute disgrace - charges should be laid against the ANC for using taxpayers money for this purpose. The ANCs true colours shine through yet again - they are a thieving party only intent on enriching themselves!

Why is tax money used for the celebrations? Isn’t that an ANC internal celebration? Can the DA and all other parties do the same? The problem is that the ANC and the government see themselves as one and the same. That’s the dishonesty of politics in South Africa.

@ Anonymous 10:14 maybe you should read the book Corruption for Dummies like the people you obviously support have read and re-read and mastered. Really are you that simple that you cant understandf that with ANC has removed the "state" and have allowed themselves to almost bankrupt the state with fancy cars, houses and parties. Waht rock are you living under man? WAKE UP!

Now why should the taxpayers pay the bill for a political party's celebration??? Will the taxpayer also have to pay towards all other political parties celebrations??? If not, then it is guilty of favouritism and that is unfair. This corruption needs to stop!!! It is not acceptable. When I read the comments its not even funny anymore - its really sad that so many are not educated to understand the impact of this decision to use the cash for something that does not benefits the needs of many. By not standing up to this in-justice we are supporting these choices. We need to come together as a country and let them use this money to help build houses and help the poor, build the economy, give medical help to those who need it, etc, etc. So many better ways to use the taxpayers money.

Why celebrate a complete faliure of a govt. and a total breakdown of its principles. Why celebrate a party that is rotten from the core and is the most corrupt, unethical bunch of morons to ever be in power. What are they or we celebrating? The theft and rape of south african people and the rich resources we use to have as a people? Celebrate the lost pride and promise in our land? No what they are celebrating is the billions of rands they have stolen from the mouths of the poor to cushion their fat asses and line their very deep pockets at the expense of you and I

The Anarchy, Nepotism and Corruption party still don't know the difference between being a political party and being the government. To squander public funds on this kind of self-indulgence is nothing less than criminal, and even if they were to be able to fund R400 million out of their own coffers, instead of putting the money to better use, it would be sheer extravagance. I wonder if they could prove that they can afford it without raping the SA taxpayer yet again???

@Anonymous 10:14 Have you actually read the article? Especially the first line - "Taxpayers will fork out more than R400 million...". Take note of the first word - TAXPAYERS. That means state resources. @Juan - actually, I'm starting to loose sympathy with the poor masses. They have had several chances to change their fate, but most of them keep voting for the same bunch of criminals who continue to screw them. Basically, they are getting exactly what they voted for...

@ Polokwane Cadre ..... keep eating my friend ... soon there will be nothing left !!! Look at the rest of Africa ... time for us Africans to see the light .. our leaders do not have our well being in mind .. just themselves .... there's a time to eat and a time too share .. where is the sharing ??
