You are what you drive

TRC commissioners are each entitled to a vehicle.

Considering the enjoyable row over Mpumalanga’s purchase of BMW 528is to replace the “crumbling” three-year-old 525s that its long-suffering MECs have to drive over the province’s bumpy roads, (they do have “ a certain status” to keep up), readers may be interested to know that the TRC commissioners show a preference for Mercedes-Benz. Under a scheme similar to that enjoyed by Supreme Court judges they are each entitled to a vehicle. We list their choices opposite. Mrs Mary Burton is either setting an example or letting the side down, depending on your point of view.
