Charity organisation Gift of the Givers has withdrawn its help from the Makhanda, saying the government paid private companies for some of the work it had done in the area.
He said that, according to the department, only companies from Makhanda could be paid for the drought intervention. "This is R10m of taxpayers' money handed out freely by the government to people as remuneration for work that Gift of the Givers did. Our hearts are with the people of Makhanda, the elderly, the women and children and everyone who waited so patiently for water but as a matter of principle, we cannot continue."According to Sooliman, the municipality requested the organisation's help in early February.
"We said it's fine, their word was good enough for us. We were told that at a council meeting in March it was a unanimous decision that Gift of the Givers will be funded the moment the funds arrive." "[This], all while government was still having meetings, preparing business plans, filling in forms and God knows what, a typical case of Nero fiddles whilst Rome burns."Issuing a statement on behalf of the municipality, Anele Mjekula thanked Gift of the Givers for the support and said discussions were ongoing to clear up"misunderstandings".
"No contractor has been appointed by the municipality for the drilling of boreholes and is engaging in supply chain management processes to equip and connect boreholes that have been drilled to date. Discussions are ongoing with [organisation] with the hope of clearing up any misunderstandings."
