South African Municipal Worker’s Union, Samwu, at the cash scrapped Amathole District Municipality is questioning the timing of the scrapping of irrecoverable debt of over R1 billion.

The logo of the Amathole District Municipality.is questioning the timing of the scrapping of irrecoverable debt of over R1 billion. The union believes this move is an attempt to buy the public’s trust as the council approved the re-appointment of the under-fire Municipal Manager, Thandekile Mnyimba, for a second term.

Samwu says it is not happy with the state of affairs in the Amathole District Municipality as relations between workers and the Municipal Manager Thandekile have paralysed. “We have been having disclaimers since he came to the municipality with that question of how possible is that person going to make a change? He has been on board and this institution is been getting disclaimers. What good is he going to produce this time around if we are giving him a second term? It simply means we are applauding him for destroying the municipality.

The spokesperson for the Department of Co-operative Governance in the province, Mamnkeli Ngam, says they are also keeping a close eye on the Municipality’s finances.
