No smooth flow for water meeting
Only a handful of people attended the meeting.
A scheduled meeting between officials from the Amajuba District Municipality and residents of Dannhauser, turned out to be another waste of time last night.
Only a handful of people attended, as the majority of the town were unaware of the meeting.
There were more officials from the District Municipality than residents present.
A single gazebo was put up on the grounds, which the officials stood under, while residents were made to stand around it.
The District Municipality claimed that they had hired a tent and chairs for the meeting, but that the service provider failed to show up.
Community member, Pravin Nair, who addressed the officials, said ‘they (the residents) were standing in the field like animals.’
He urged that the municipality ‘go back to the drawing board’ before addressing the people of Dannhauser.
Mr Colin Krause echoed these sentiments, saying that the municipality should only return when they have a positive and fair solution for the people.
Cllr Zwane, a representative of the municipality, apologised for the shortfalls and said they would reconvene the meeting at a later date, promising that they would find a way to notify people in advance.
