South Africans generally got the 'ell in' with Ellen Tshabalala and her almost endless attempts to stave off the inevitable after she was found, among other things, to have lied to Parliament. (Image: SABC)

For more: MyNews24 - News24.com: 10 things that annoyed SA in 2014... It's probably the same in many countries... But we here in SA appear to have what is a rare challenge: Compiling such a list is not so much about trying to find at least 10 people/issues that annoyed people, but rather about trying to find the 10 most annoying.

We're spoilt for choice... from Number 1 trying to stay out of a heap of number 2, to the SABC, to SAA, to Eskom keeping us in the dark, to Nkandla and the whitewash brigade, to the arms deal, a shambolic health-care system, an education department issuing Matric certificates (not so fast, Hlaudi) that are worth not a great deal, but not always issuing textbooks, to antics in Parliament, e-tolls... and many, many more.

Here's what a user on the MyNews24 section of News24.com reckons are the most annoying... and, as the piece says, "The list has people and events that would make a good pastor go 'voetsek" in front of his congregation."
