# The DA has called on Parliament to summon Public Service and Administration minister Mzamo Buthelezi over the misuse of public funds. Reports show nearly 800-million-rand is spent annually on salaries for suspended officials. DA Member of Parliament, Eleanore Spies, says this reflects a serious breakdown in accountability. Over 600 officials remain suspended, with many beyond legal timeframes, placing further strain on already struggling municipalities and public finances.
