Mr Collins Chabane is meant to monitor his colleagues' performance... But perhaps he should be monitored more closely... He managed to max out his government issued diner's club card by over 5 grand - on personal items.

Is this just a case of "a plumber's taps always leaks" or should this behaviour be scrutinised closely?

His office said in a written reply to a parliamentary question that Chabane had been issued with a Diners Club credit card with a R15 000 limit - but had overspent by R5 300 on a personal transaction and was making arrangements to repay the money.

"The card was over the limit due to extra payments made in his personal capacity for which arrangements have been made for repayment," his office said in the reply.
