Where is the rest of the Bridge?
Tenderpreneurship’ in Madibeng
has become a liability to the community, tenders issued to construction companies, water tankers, projects, services and any
other forms of services are now
posing as risks to the community.
more delays to Hebron police when
attending to crime. Could this be the
responsibility of the population to see
to it that the bridge is completed? Is the
bridge also falling under the Integrated
Development Programme (IDP) plan
whereby the community through community gatherings should prioritise the
bridge on the list? I doubt this is beyond
being prioritised, it is a priority by itself
that needs a special treatment. Our

T
he harsh words that follow are
meant to expose the overall indifference of our municipality. Our biggest
concern is that the public must have
proper roads, enough clinics in one
village that are up to standard and can
accommodate the entire population.
We want to know when is the bridge
towards Hebron Police station going to
reach its completion. The bridge has
been left incomplete by the contractor
for years now and it seems no one cares
for the residents, including the municipality. The Provincial Communication
Colonel Mokgwabone had little to say
about crime in the area and the fact that
the Hebron bridge is causing delays in
combating crime in the area. Meanwhile, Mmakau Cluster Communica-

for their own interests. They must stop
considering the population only during
the times of elections. Our Republic
of South Africa is no longer a Republic (Res publica meaning opinion of
the people) but an oligarchy. In a real
Republic every citizen has a right to express his/her opinion. Our municipality
is no longer an opinion municipality but
a private business where certain people
think that they own the municipality.
We are now living under a new form of
oppression whereby blacks are oppressing fellow blacks. And those underprivileged and with less voices to complain
are being fed a dummy such as used on
babies to suck or bite on to keep quiet
forever by those with ruling powers.
Yes, some toddler dummies taste sweet
and enjoyable, you could easily be
tempted to keep them forever in your
mouth. How pathetic is that! The two
bridges in Madibeng, one in Hebron
towards Hebron Police Station and the
other one in Klipgat crossing towards
ODI Hospital are still standing incomplete and unattended by the contractor
and the uncaring municipality.
These incomplete jobs at some point
affect the effectiveness of the Hebron
Police and cause a number of delays in
the response by the police. Especially
on cases where emergency response
is needed. The community of Hebron
is mostly affected by the delays in
constructing the bridge and feels that
there will never be any change in our
municipality in terms of work comple-

tion. They do not know whether to
blame the contractor, the municipality
or the province regarding the issue.
Who is responsible for the completion
of the bridges and for making sure that
the residents are safe from the deadly
bridges? Hebron bridge, who built it?
Who authorised the project and allowed
the contractor to do a half job? Was
there any timeframe for the project?
Our municipality is irresponsible when
it comes to the awarding of tenders and
ensuring that the project is done properly and completed on time. I do not
know whether it is because of those desperate construction companies who take
chances by registering their companies
when seeing that there is a multimillion
Rand tender in the pipeline.

unfinished bridges to cross to the other
side of the road. What happens at the
Klipgat bridge is different to the other
bridge in Hebron. The bridge collapsed
more than five (5) years ago because it
was too old and had no more strength
to carry the weight. Our municipality
has shown no interest or intention to
repair the broken bridge? We have not
found anyone who is taking conclusive
responsibility for the completion of the
bridges. Madibeng municipality denies
the responsibility, Madibeng Spokesperson Sipho Nkosi said, “the two bridges
you are inquiring about are in essence
not part of our responsibilities. You can
direct your inquiries to Public Works
North West for the Hebron Bridge and
Public Works Gauteng for the Klipgat
Bridge.”
Our municipality is so useless that they
cannot even do proper monitoring when
a project is given to certain construction
companies, or whether the company
itself complies with the requirements of
relevant regulatory institutions and is
entitled to do the required job. Assuming a huge responsibility to construct
a massive bridge that is supposed to
be used by motorists and pedestrians
demands adherence to the standards
required and strangely no one seems
to have evident answers as to why
the project was stopped and when the
contractor is going to begin and meet its
completion. This ineptitude is ruining
the lives of the ordinary citizens because
plenty of money has been spent yet people have to suffer and still use the risky

t turns out to be that the people
who assaulted and murdered
Chris Jordaan at the party few
weeks ago owed him money. During the argument between the late
Mr. Jordaan and the culprits, they
had refused to pay him back his
money and decided to kill him.
The Brits Police are doing all they
can to arrest the perpetrators. The
investigation to arrest the criminals
involved under the investigating
officer Sebatjane is following on
all the statements and testimonials
given by the witnesses. From our
side Madibeng Times and the rest
of the community, this tragic act of
homicide cannot be tolerated and a
harsh sentence must be reflected.

Youth unemployment
in Madibeng
destroying Madibeng Youth
Madibeng Municipality has inherited
infrastructure, systems, procedures
and processes that are not congruent
to the task at hand. The infrastructure is aged and outdated technology
does not meet the required capacities.
One of the greatest Socio-Economic
problems currently facing The Local Municipality of Madibeng is
youth unemployment. This problem
encourages the youth to engage in
criminal activities.

he demand far surpasses the supply and during hot seasons, the raw
water quality from the Hartbeespoort
Dam deteriorates to the worst level.
Key problems in the municipality
in
relation to water services can be summarised as poor water and sanitation
services provision. The services provision which often results in water supply
disruptions, poor water quality, poor
maintenance and operations of water
infrastructure. Uneven provision of
services to communities, project delays
due to prolonged pro-current processes
and possible fraud and corruption and
high water losses. Despite the fact that
the municipal is being judged negatively in service delivery by the communities around, Madibeng as category

here are good people across our
society, in Government and in civil
society, who are deeply committed to
our Constitution. They work hard and
are committed to changing the reality
of unemployment, poverty, inequality
and violence. The biggest obstacle they
identify is the lack of planning, the silomentality, the territorialism and egoism. These factors hinder co-ordination
and co-operation within and between
departments and spheres of Government. It has negative impact on policy
and budget development, preventing the
implementation of policies that could
shift this reality. The result is a widespread perception that Government does
not care. Our Constitution enshrines the
right to transparent, open Government
and meaningful public consultation
and participation. Despite this, people
who are poor struggle to access basic
information about budgetary and other
decisions directly affecting their lives.
Bureaucrats and politicians often treat
them with contempt, fobbing off any
responsibility. Without consulting and
listening respectfully to those affected,
Government often makes disastrous
short-term trade-offs. Moral outrage is
not enough - the structural problems and
demand in peak season 108 mega litres

its life span, high maintenance cost
which is also limited due to financial

areas stands out that the municipality
currently tankers water to rural areas
through 18 hired and 6 owned water
costing approximately R2 million per
month. Water supply to ODI areas are

Tswane of approximately 25 mega litres

causes need to be addressed in a systemic fashion. This happened in the Local Municipality of Madibeng whereby
the municipality failed to provide more
jobs especially to the vulnerable youth
who have now turned violent due to being unemployed for quite a long time.
Those who do not enjoy human rights
including the right to decent work, water, sanitation, health, housing, education, clean environment or the rights
to public participation and peaceful
protest remain trapped in SA’s townships, informal settlements and former
homelands. In contrast, they believe that
those who are wealthy have direct lines
to those in power. The gathered masses
applaud the presentation of national
or provincial averages, even though
these fail to capture the entrenched inequalities that remain mapped out along
Apartheid-era Bantustan and township
divides. The youth unemployment is
currently the reason for the outbreak
of uncertainties in the municipality of
Madibeng. Every time when someone
is not satisfied about something in the
community, there has to be a violent
protest and memorandum submissions.
We said it previously and we will
again repeat it that the municipality of
Madibeng structural unemployment
crisis which affects the youth in particular is amongst the highest in the North
West Province.

Madibeng Public Toilets
disgusting
Is this our constitutional right? To
live like animals!! Should we accept
to be treated as such by our municipality? Why does our municipality
want us to live like dogs and to sh**t
anywhere in full view of everyone
while there are toilets in every taxi
rank which are only reserved for
specific people?
S
ome of the public toilets are in
such bad state that even a dog itself
cannot use them. Instead, our senior
municipal employees continue stealing
the tax payers’ money to support themselves and their sidekicks while failing
to provide what they have promised to
the innocent population. Is the municipality thinking that the population in
town does not deserve toilets or they
should just go on open fields surrounding our CBD to help themselves? Or
maybe we do not know perhaps those
toilets are not public toilets and are of
course reserved for municipal employees only? Why not put a restricting
board on every entrance of every toilet
clearly indicating to the public that the
toilets are strictly reserved for municipal workers who are seen on daily basis
walking around pretending to clean up
the CBD and the toilets.
By so doing, this indication would
help a lot in terms of who should use
the toilets, the restricting board would
also give a direction to the public that
whenever they need to use toilets they
must look for private toilets in town and
pay a certain amount of money. In other
words, our municipality is promoting
the privately owned businesses running
small toilets businesses by making lives
difficult for the entire population by
closing down all the public toilets in all
the taxi and the bus ranks in town.
Back in the days during apartheid
era we used to get restricting signs
for specific races and colours to use
selected areas in the country. Today
Madibeng reminds us of those olden
days and transforming us into being
bitter and having hatred in our hearts.
Madibeng have been denying people
water, jobs, opportunities, lands of their
own and RDP houses to name the few.
Dogs and Cats owners are
fighting like dogs and cats
This happened at Elandsrand next to
Light House School in Brits after the
owner of the cats complained to the
owner of the dogs that his dogs are
always making noise during the day
and at night.
Today once again Madibeng is deliberately killing businesses in the CBD by
preventing the population access to the
public toilets. Why build toilets that are
not accessible, toilets that are difficult
to maintain and toilets that are constantly locked for no apparent reason? What
are we learning from our municipality when everyday we have to witness
elderly people having to help themselves on open spaces in the view of
everybody? It is very annoying to hear
elderly people among others complaining about the toilets every time they
come to town for their Social Grants.
They cannot afford to pay the amount of
money required by the privately owned
toilets companies. You will never even
see the budget allocated for the toilets
in the budget presentation. It is as if
the municipality has forgotten about
those terrible toilets or forgotten that
the public is entitled to public toilets
use or maybe they think that members
of the public are like dogs and can do it
anywhere they want to.
A
ccording to the dogs’ owner, he had
small dogs before and those dogs
were troubling the neighbours because
they used to jump out of the fence, until
he decided to close all the illegal entries
and buy bigger dogs that will behave
and scare the intruders.He further said
that he bought the dogs for his protection, before he had dogs, there used to
be numerous counts of housebreaking. He did not buy dogs to disturb his
neighbours or bite innocent individuals
but for his and his properties protection. “During the night we are disturbed
by many cats screaming and fighting
behind our houses. I even suspect that
maybe the reason my dogs bark at night
is because of the many cats in my neighbours yard. She cannot tell me to get
rid of my dogs, she must do that to her
cats first.” said the dog owner. On the
other side, the owner of the cats dislike
the dogs saying that the dogs are always
barking and making noise at night. This
is causing her sleepless nights and now
she wants the dogs owner to do something about the dogs. When the barking
happens, the owner of the cats goes next
door and knocks at the gate demanding that the dogs owner must shut them
down or kill them if necessary. As aggressive as he was, the dogs’ owner on
the 11th of May 2015 went to court for
protection order against the cats’ owner.
Saying that he wants to put an end on
the issue and that everybody must mind
their own business and stop interfering
in other people’s businesses. He further
said that if the cats owner comes again
to complain during the night, he will immediately call the police so that she can
be arrested.
Mahumapelo is loosing
his popularity
Apparently members of the public in
Mahikeng and some members of the
African National Congress (ANC) in
the area have uncertainties about the
leadership of the North West Province, under Supra Mahumapelo.

a blocked sewer running under the

S
upported by other political parties,
they challenged the fact that Kule
Mahumapelo, the wife to the Premier Mahumapelo, has a McDonald’s
franchise. One of the franchise outlets
that Kule owns was officially opened
in 2014. McDonald’s Mahikeng in the
North West opened on 1 November
2014. The town is part of the restaurant
chain’s plans to expand into urban areas
and smaller towns around the country.
It offers the full drive-thru experience
at the Crossing Shopping Centre and
brings the number of restaurants in the
chain in South Africa to 208. Fran-
Another toilet that has been abandoned
by the municipality and turned into a
bad situation
chisee, owner and operator Kule Mahumapelo and her team of 45 permanent
staff know the region and community,
an essential part of new development
in an outlying area where connecting
with customers is essential. Many of
the employees are locals, although they
have worked and trained in McDonald’s
outlets in other regions. Now the public
has lost interest in the leadership of
Supra Mahumapelo saying that he and
his wife are using the ANC to accumulate many things for themselves. Early
May 2015, the community in Mahikeng
took to the streets and demanded that
Supra be removed from his powers and
that the franchises owned by his wife,
Kule, also be tested. The police had to
control the situation when the community members were furiously engaging
in arguments.

A scary self-made-dam
A portion at the Granite factory in
Oukasie has been abandoned by the
contractor for many years and poses
a threat to the community of that
area. The company used the site for
crafting granite stones to create fine
stones such as Tombstones.
there are a bit strange. Every year there
has to be sacrifices by school children.”
“Somebody might think it is safe for
an adult to visit the dam with their kids
for fishing and perhaps swimming. But
what will happen when the adult is
unavailable and the kids go fishing and
swimming on their own?” asked Joyce
Madagane.
S
ince being abandoned by the company, people in the area are sometimes using the dam for fishing and
swimming in hot weather conditions.
The place has now turned into a ‘killer
dam’ with a number of murder cases
reported. Known by many as ‘Gwari
dam’, it is further alleged that in the past
years the self-made-dam has swallowed
a number of people including school
children. A rumour is spreading that
there is a big snake in that dam that is
particularly killing students every year.
About the granite; In most cases, the
granite is crafted on the mountain and
if the product is no longer required, the
owner decides to move to the next portion leaving the open hole which will
after couple of rain falls become a place
for snakes and dangerous reptiles. Not
only snakes and dangerous reptiles such
as alligators and crocodiles find a home
at the self-made-dam, different kinds
of fish will also want to be recognised
and seen at the dam. In that case, the
community will from time to time visit
the place with fishing rods and nets to
catch the fish. Under no circumstances,
the message has been spread through
community gatherings, warning the residents to stay away from the ‘killer dam’
until the matter is resolved and the dam
is permanently sealed for safety.Turning
deaf ears and being literally driven by
hunger, members of the community at
the particular area still continue visiting
dam and performing illegal fishing.
the
The most disturbing part is that when
the parents or adults travel to the dam,
they go together with their kids to teach
them how to fish. Thinking that they
have learned enough, later on, the kids
visit the dam on their own for fishing
and swimming. This then results in
some of the kids being swallowed and
killed by the dam. A nearby resident,
Joyce Madagane, who stays near the
dam said that she sees many people
almost everyday visiting the dam for
fishing and swimming. “Residents in
Phase 3 section pleaded with each other
on several occasions that no one is supposed to go and do fishing or swimming
in that dam because the dam is too dangerous. Unfortunately, residents never
take the plea seriously and are continuing visiting the dam.” “They were also
told that the dam is not for fishing or
swimming and will be sealed in a short
while. But you know our people, when
they are hungry they tend to lose focus
and act irrationally; they never listen
when they are warned.” “We strongly
demand that the owner of the abandoned
Gwari take initiative and close down
the killer dam. I am not a witchcraft
believer but things that are happening

Is our Country fulfilling ‘right to free
education for all’?
It is important to begin a discussion
of this nature by sketching the legal
framework on which such a right
is premised. The objective of doing
so is not to overload the paper with
too much legalese, but to ground the
discussion within a factual context.
T
he Convention on the Rights of
the Child (CRC) defines a child
as a human being below the age of
18. In Article 28, it points out that
state parties should recognise the right
of a child to education, with the view
to achieving this right progressively
and on the basis of equal opportunity.
In particular, member states must
make primary education compulsory
and available to all, and also develop
different forms of secondary education that should be made accessible
to every child, taking appropriate
measures such as offering education
for free or providing financial assistance in cases of need. Section 29(1)
of the South African Constitution says
“Everyone has a right to: (a) a basic
education, including adult education,
and (b) to further education, which the
state, through reasonable measures,
must make progressively available
and accessible.” AfriForum is of the
opinion that the statement made by the
MEC for Education, Panyaza Lesufi,
that Afrikaans schools are only accessible to white people is racist. Carien
Bloem, Coordinator of Education
Campaigns at AfriForum, says that
Lesufi unfairly labels learners who
go to Afrikaans schools to receive
education in their mother tongue.
She emphasizes that Afrikaans is not
solely the mother tongue of white
people, but also other race groups and
that Lesufi is stripping these learners
of the choice to learn in their mother
tongue. “Learners choose to go to
single medium schools to learn in
their mother tongue due to the quality of the education. How are parallel
medium schools going to maintain the
same standards in providing mother
tongue education if everyone speaks a
different language?” Bloem says.
educated? I believe that the only way
to foster an equal third level education system is through universal free
education and by this it means removing the prohibitive fees and replacing
them with a real registration fee that
solely covers the annual registration
costs. There are about 75 million
children who do not have access to
basic education, according to Right to
Education, with also about 150 million children currently enrolled in the
schooling system likely to drop-out
before completing primary education and at least two-thirds of those
likely to drop-out will be comprised
of girls. Right to Education campaign
said that about 776 million adults in
the world were illiterate and never got
an education. According to Right to
Education campaign, a right to education means that all these people have
been discriminated against and their
rights have been violated. The South
African Bill of Rights clearly states
that a right to education is a human
right which is the same as “natural
rights” and belongs to the people “just
because they are human beings.” This
means people are entitled to them
regardless of where they live in the
world or of their position in society.
The Bill does not discriminate against
one’s race, sex, age, class, language,
beliefs, culture or religion or “how
much money or education a person
Lesufi’s goal is non-racial schools and
he says that something like a school’s
registration or language policy needs
not be challenged in court. However,
AfriForum supports the Federation
of Governing Bodies of SA Schools
(Fedsas) who refuses to withdraw
their court application in which they
oppose the altered school registration process as well as single medium
schools being changed to parallel
medium schools. Education is a right
equal to health and housing which
has to be made available to everyone,
because an educated workforce is the
key to rebuilding our economy. But
what about those who choose not to be
has”, but that it is inclusive of all these
and many other “natural rights” as
they are consistent with international
and
Universal Declaration of Human
Rights. We have realised that all
children are equal and are entitled to
basic human rights and freedoms and
that all children deserve respect and
special care and protection as they develop and grow and we recognise that
within South Africa, children have not
been treated with respect and dignity.
But as a direct result of Apartheid
have been subjected to discrimination,
violence and racism that has destroyed
families and communities and has disrupted education and social relationships and acknowledging that at the
present time, children have not been
placed on the agenda of any political
party, or the existing government or
within the CODESA negotiations and
are not given the attention that they
deserve. We need to take into consideration the cultural values, languages,
and traditions of all the children and
recognise the urgent need for attention
to improving the lives of children and
protecting their rights in every region,
in particular those regions which have
been especially subjected to violence,
political unrest and poverty.
Mentally ill man causes a
terrible accident
Three motor vehicles were affected
in an accident after it is alleged that a
mentally ill man jumped on top of one
vehicle and caused a rampage. After
the man was hit by the vehicle he immediately stood up and fled the scene
unharmed.
T
he mentally ill man is a well-known
person in the Brits CBD and is also
nicknamed ‘Traffic Officer’. According
to bystanders, the ‘Traffic Officer’ who
is always half naked and in a hurry is
seen everyday on the middle of the road
controlling the traffic and allegedly confusing the motorists. They said that the
ordeal has been taking place for quite
a long time since and no one is taking
care of the situation. They further said
that the ‘Traffic Officer’ sometimes
controls the traffic in full view of the
real traffic officers when there are accidents or when the robot has stopped
functioning. On the 20th of May 2015,
‘Traffic Officer’ nearly killed by a running motor vehicle or caused death to
the people in the affected motor vehicles
when he accidentally jumped on top of a
running vehicle at the Robot that is next
to the main bus and taxi ranks. Is there

no institution where such people can be
taken for safety and proper care?
The number of mentally ill people in
Brits is growing rapidly and as aggressive as they are, they get involved in
house and shop break ins, theft, robbery, rape, murder and various acts of
violence. Some of these people have
escaped from mental institutions around
to come to Brits and find a new home,
while others are being changed by the
inhalation of intoxicating substances
and drugs that they use everyday. They
need to be taken away to a safe place
and receive proper treatment. Sometimes these people do things and at the
end they tend to forget what they were
doing or pretend as if they do not know
what they were doing.

Our money has gone to
waste!
A wasteful expenditure project! Was
it really necessary for the dying municipality to have pole decoration that
is improperly maintained and has
cost about R177 000-00. This money
could have been used to address other
important basic needs such as water
and sanitation.

contractor to redo his job properly
means that the municipality is hiding
or protecting somebody who has done
something horrible. All these people
must be fired and barred from getting
any employment in any government
institution everywhere in the country.
We do believe that the poles used at
the park were not bought but donated
by a certain good Samaritan who felt
that the poles were no longer required.
Then the constructor saw fit to use the
poles that were freely given to decorate
the park and maximise his profits. Why
are the poles not being fixed? Who is
the municipality protecting? Why is
the municipality so useless in spending
money? The way they are spending
money, is like there is no monitoring
departments in the council. There is no
justice in our municipality, if someone
does something wrong, the person must
be exposed no matter what.
A transfer station is a building or
processing site for the temporary
deposition of waste. Transfer stations are often used as places where
local waste collection vehicles will
deposit their waste cargo prior to
loading into larger vehicles.
T
hese larger vehicles will transport
the waste to the end point of disposal in an incinerator, landfill, or hazardous waste facility, or for recycling.
In the future, transfer stations could
be equipped with material recovery
facilities and with localized mechanical
biological treatment systems to remove
recyclable items from the waste stream.
By combining the loads of several
individual waste collection trucks into a
single shipment, communities can save
money on the labor and operating costs
of transporting the waste to a distant
disposal site. They can also reduce the
total number of vehicular trips travelling to and from the disposal site.
certain contractor was awarded
the project to do fencing of Middle Island at Tillman park in Brits to
plant treated poles, but instead, they
had decided to plant the poles untreated
and apply a black substance afterwards.
Now the substance is worn off by the
weather and has to be applied over and
over again. It has been indicated that
the owner of the company is related to
former Mayor of Madibeng and it is
alleged that he uses that relationship to
his advantage. It is inconceivable that
the municipality allows such people
to do as they please. Instead of poles,
there should have been road specifications such as Road safety guardrail, also
named highway guardrails, traffic safety
barriers to prevent motorists and pedestrians from being involved in accidents.
Without any doubt, the poles will not be
able to prevent any accidents from happening. Guardrail barrier Systems for
road safety are widely used for highway
safety and fixed on the side of the roads
especially on curves and slopes for pre- Before the poles were treated from only
venting vehicles from riding out from
the outside with a shoe polish.
roads. Today people are using the poles
as their seats because the seats that used
to be in the park are no more.
What our municipality has created is a
lifetime project that will need renovations in every six months and of course
the additional money will come out of
the municipal coffers. What is needed
is for the poles to be removed no matter
what the cost might be. This should
be followed by proper planning and
steps to ensure that correct channels

Few weeks ago during Easter Holidays,
residents in Oukasie Phase 1 section
gathered together on the 4th of April
2015 and disposed all the stinking
waste cargo across the street. As angry
as they were, they said that for the past
three weeks the municipal waste trucks
were unavailable to help remove the
waste. “It was late afternoon when the
residents of Oukasie Phase 1 section
started throwing their dustbins all over
the streets and deliberately blocking
the road with the heavy plastic bags.

they were concerned about what was
inside the bags.” said one angry resi-

the Government to restore our Local
Municipality of Madibeng back to
normality and away from a Water
and Sanitation crisis.
Bring back hanging
Our Local Municipality of Madibeng
once again tested on the street concerning municipal employees that are
not doing their jobs accordingly.
M
any responded with anger that the
municipal employees, especially
the senior ones deserve to be chopped
into many pieces and thrown into the
Lion’s den, while others said they
should be stoned to death and feel the
pains they (the community) are feeling.
Corruption at the municipality of
Madibeng has exceeded its limit and the
Communication Department is playing
a significant role in shielding those corrupt municipal officials.( we want open
and clear names of the people that are
under investigation) The public and the
unions alluded that they will never rest
until those corrupt officials are removed
from the council and put behind bars.
The police must further treat the corruption in the municipality as a serious
crime. The police must also infiltrate
and establish the way this crime syndicates in the council operate. People
such as Mapulane are ruining the affairs
of our municipality with a number of
municipal officials working hand in
hand with him. The question regarding Madibeng at the POL was, ‘should
the government bring back the death
sentence for corrupt officials at the Lo-
dent. Meanwhile Oukasie is now being
regarded by many as a ‘Waste Transfer
Station’ because all the entrances are a
dump site including some parts in the
inside of the area. Many individuals
and companies around the area dump
their waste materials at the place and
make the situation worse. Community
leaders in the area turned deaf ears and
are saying nothing about the situation.
The place has now turned into a stinking zone with disgusting refuse all over.
A tender was awarded to construct a
Waste Transfer Station in Oukasie.
The Waste Tranfer Station was scheduled to be located at the old entrance
next to the railway line towards Mashao
road. The contractor proceeded with
the work and in less than two months or
so, it is alleged that the money for the
tender was finished before any fruitful progress could be seen. After the
money scandal, the contractor decided
to call it a day, leaving the workplace
with an ultimate huge hole that will
later result in being a deadly zone.
There was also a fence surrounding the
place and a site office. Few weeks later
the fence was no more and only the site
office with security guards remained.
Residents indicated that only if the station had been completed and functioning, none of these illegal dumping and
shortage of waste trucks would have
been experienced. While some of the
residents are arguing the fact that the
Transfer Waste Station be constructed
in front of the location as it will be a
disgrace for the location to have dirt
in the front where the place is used by
everybody as the entrance.
cal Municipality of Madibeng?’ If so,
should those corrupt officials be stoned,
hanged or promoted to do more corruption? A one week exercise questioning
the Madibeng people to raise their opinions and their concerns about how their
municipality should be conducted and
by whom has definitely taken the entire
municipality by storm when all that was
heard was ‘useless municipality’. The
population thinks that the government
should bring back the death sentence
for corrupt municipal officials because
they behave in an inappropriate manner that is putting their lives in agony.
They said the corrupt municipal officials in Madibeng are heartless people
who deserve to be stoned and hanged to
death without any remorse. The ANC
promotes them to continue doing harm
to the public and corrupt the municipality. They said why was Mapulane
given R15 million after it was alleged
that he stole millions in the municipality? Did the ANC orchestrate the whole
thing and allow Mapulane to walkaway
a free man? Out of the total, those in the
POL who said the municipal officials
must be stoned were 5% and those that
said they must be hanged were 86%
while those that said they must be promoted to do more corruption or did not
care were 9%.
A
fter countless violent protests in
our Municipality, our Province
implemented a most wanted section,
Section 139 (1) b so that the incompetence of our Municipal leaders can be
tested and be exposed to the public once
and for all. Nonetheless, what we are
witnessing today through the implementation is another unwanted public funds
spending inappropriately carried out by
our government when planning forever the strategy to be used to save our
municipality from the criminals. Our
government is hosting countless meetings that also need to be challenged and
tested. What is needed in Madibeng is
not meetings that we see every Monday
at the Fire Station, but two hands in
the gloves and foot in the boots to start
the working missions and eliminate
incompetence. Our communities for so
long have been hearing many stories
from the government with regard to key
problems in Madibeng. The problems
can be summarised as poor water and
sanitation services provision which often result in water supply disruptions.
Poor water quality, poor maintenance
and operations of water infrastruc-
8
ture, uneven provision of services to
communities, project delays due to
prolonged procurement processes and
possible fraud and corruption and high
water losses. The terms of reference for
the intervention team include planning and prioritisation of infrastructure
programmes and projects on water and
sanitation services, allocation of the
budget for water and sanitation programmes and projects, overseeing the
procurement of goods and services in
relation to water and sanitation services,
management of the Project Management Unit and Monitoring and overseeing of water and sanitation projects and
programmes. The seating and chatting
in the boardrooms must come to an end
and the working mission start rolling so
that the population can now have what
they have voted for which is water and
sanitation among others. There are
many questions as to whether the new
administration in Madibeng will be able
to make changes in our municipality
and prioritise service delivery. Municipal employees who steal the tax payers
money should be sent away for a long
time.

Bojanala District Municipality needs to be dissolved
An unreliable District Municipality
could be the cause for poor service
deliveries within the Local Municipalities.
B
ojanala District Municipality is one
of the Municipalities that have been
established for no reason. In most cases
you would find municipal workers in
the municipality seating around without
any job to do. Why was the municipality established in the first place while
we have a provincial administration that
can do everything. The money used in
that municipality can be used in other
municipalities and help resolve the
challenges that the municipalities have.
Therefore there is no need for the municipality to remain functional, it needs
to be dissolved immediately.
Water bills very high, water
tankers very scarce
There is a huge water crisis in
Rabokala. The water tankers run
through Rabokala to supply yet the
area has no water. In some sections
the tanker comes only once per week.
A
mid this lack of water, Madibeng
Local municipality is pumping the
residents with water bills that are going
higher and higher every month. I find it
very irrational that a water bill should
be issued when people are shunting
around in search of water.

Brits Third Team (Pit Bull) Rugby
Club currently playing in the Blue
Bulls First League known as the
Second Division.
T
he owner and coach of the
club Mr. Luan Degenaar told
Madibeng Times that he is very
much impressed with the performance rendered by the boys in the
last match played against Silver
Valkens. “Even though the match
was tough we managed to pull
through.” said the coach. Before
the match between Pit Bull and
Silver Valkens, the Pit Bull hosted
the Correctional Services and the
Correctional Services won the
match by 33-0 and the second match
between Dragons saw the Dragons
winning by 20-7. Apart from that,
a great improvement was registered
by the trailing Pit Bull Club when
they played against the hard work-

great improvement
ing Silver Valkens. “We
underestimated the team
because we understood
that they had lost in their
previous match so we
used that for our advantage?” “It was very
tough though we won the
match in the last minute
of the dying hours. I still
remember hearing my
captain mourning to the
referee that he must not
blow the whistle for final
match. Luckily, before
the final whistle, we got a
try and a conversion that
gave us seven (7) points.”
“Francois Pistorious and
Shadrack were the heroes
of the day, and to me all
of my boys played outstanding match I would
say they were all men of
the match. What interests me a lot
is that before the match I did not
have a prop player and had to use
Shadrack as one of my props.”
and sneaked out like a lightning, you
know what I mean.” “I introduced
as well my new players who are
still under development and they are
Jeffery, Morgan, James and Gerhard. The players have shown more
character and they are my future
heroes and if they continue playing
with dedication they will go far.”
said the coach Degenaar. The coach
urges every individual wishing to

to see a skinny prop because normally a prop is someone who has
strong muscles, but I was very much
impressed because he took them on
