The Afrikaans newspaper Rapport says that 6 police bodyguards of President Jacob Zuma’s VIP (blue light bully) unit have been promoted unduly, two of them went from sergeant to Colonel skipping six ranks.
Another two jumped five ranks from Warrant Officer to Colonel and the other two jumped three ranks from Captain to Colonel.
The sergeant’s salaries would go up from R137,000 a year to R496,000 per year.
According to the article, five of these members have been at Zuma’s side since he was sacked as deputy President in 2005.

Yes. This is how promotion works in the communist ranks. It does not matter how well educated you are or how skilled you are. It is all about LOAYALTY.
Look at Jacob Zuma himself. A functional illiterate with no formal schooling who worked his way up from communist apparatchik to ANC head of intelligence to deputy president to president. His only qualification is ten years in prison on Robben Island.
Or Julias Malema, who basically failed matric and who is the head of the ANCYL and a multimillionaire.
If you have proven your loyalty to the party, you get promoted. And if you have raped, tortured and killed for the party, like Jacob Zuma has done at amongst other places, Quatro Camp in Angola, then you go straight to the top.
ANC atrocities
O well, what do I care. Make them all generals. Give them Coke-tops on their chests. Make them happy…whatever.
