KFC really is the great equaliser, and so are taxes, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that the two come together in unexpected ways.

Let’s start with the fact that, despite the need for basic infrastructure, the Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality in Queenstown, Eastern Cape, spent R90 000 on KFC.

That’s a mountain of fried chicken and a lot of tax rands.

In more recent news, a SAPS pilot thought he’d just nip into the local Queenstown KFC for some finger licking goodness, which would be fine, except he was in a helicopter.

Here’s News24:

The South African Police Service (SAPS) is investigating one of its police pilots who on Tuesday allegedly made a landing in a parking lot in Queenstown, Eastern Cape – seemingly to buy a KFC meal.

“They were on patrol in the Eastern Cape, but the question of them landing and why is still under investigation,” national police spokesperson Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo told News24 on Saturday.

What are they putting in the KFC in Queenstown? That stuff must be next level amazing.

The SAPS is investigating the misuse of state property. They can add it to the list right after the misuse of that Nyala used to take a couple of teenagers to the Matric Dance.

You’ve got to hand it to them – the SAPS might be useless at dealing with crime, but they sure do get creative with tax-funded, state-owned vehicles.
