BREAKING: TCLM’s offices closed down
The building remains closed. It is not certain when TCLM offices will be reopened.
LYDENBURG – The entire municipal building of Thaba Chweu Local Municipality (TCLM) has been closed down on account of a South African Municipal Workers Union (Samwu) strike. The strike commenced on Tuesday (yesterday) and the municipal manager (MM) Thoka Kgoale, had to be escorted from his office by police.
Samwu members demanded his resignation and that he step down as MM of TCLM.
“You are wasting our time, just leave Thaba Chweu,” is what several placards stated when union members downed tools on Tuesday.
They said that they are fed up with the way Kgoale is running the institution into the ground.
A reliable source within TCLM said the union is spot on with the allegations made against Kgoale.
“In his term, things have gone from bad to worse. Promises that were made by him about the Eskom account and service delivery never materialised. In fact, it deteriorated to such an extent that ordinary municipal workers have now decided that enough is enough.”
The building remains closed. It is not certain when TCLM offices will be reopened.
