This is after municipal spokesperson Zongezile Ntjwabule, revealed that they met with residents who were illegally occupying the municipal land before, handing them eviction letters.“When you’re saying you’ve met people, few people to present those letters, look why can’t you go to the community and say community here is a letter? So, nothing has happened. So, we don’t know anything about those letters that they’re talking about.

“At the moment there is a project that has been registered with us, of the length of 10 kilometres, to the value of R36 million in Masilonyana. It’s at the procurement stage. We expect that by October at some time, that is where procurement should start, service provider should be appointed, 2022, 2023,” says Free State Cooperative Governance spokesperson Sello Dithebe.
