Mayor Mesuli Ngqondwana says Treasury has allocated more than R289 million for the completion of the outstanding projects.

Political infighting and corruption allegations led to the collapse of the administration. But the new council says it is ready to implement the project. “We are progressing very well which led to the Treasurer releasing an amount of R200 million rand sometime in December which made us to be able to cover some tracks in advancing other responsibilities and once again they have since released R89 million which will specifically go to some capital projects. So this means that we are at a position now where we can start moving back to our responsibility of delivering on our capital projects especially that relates to water.

“We started settling in this area in 2013, we do not have roads, we do not have water, the road you see now is much better than the ones in this village, it is because the villagers had to contribute R500 per household to fix it, we cannot drive on it, we do not have access to clean water, we do not have toilets, we are really deserted,” says Maya.
