A smelly mess…
Producer: Keith Sayster
Rate payers of the Koukamma municipality in the Eastern Cape are fed up with poor services due to the lack of capacity, financial constraints and alleged mal-administration. Since a Fokus visit to this municipality in the Langkloof three years ago, little has changed. Rubbish pile up in heaps and sewage stream down the streets in one of Joubertina’s suburbs. Residents of Rondomskrik in the neighbouring town, Louterwater are threatening to withold rates until the shoddy sewerage system has been upgraded.
In a follow-up studio discussion the minister of local government, Sydney Mufamadi joins Freek Robinson for a frank interview on municipal service delivery. Will government’s new policy documents and the expansion of project consolidate help to turn around service delivery? Join Fokus, Sunday evening at 18:30 on SABC-2 for the answers. |
