Mayor addresses grievances to stop more protest action
Mayor Madlala addressed the concerns that were raised by the community and also highlighted how the municipality does all in its power to accommodate the needs of the community, prioritising service delivery
Emnambith/Ladysmith Municipality Mayor Vincent Madlala, together with the rapid response team of the municipality (which includes councillors and municipal officials), held a meeting with the community of Matiwaneskop Ward 24 after a recent protest that was staged by community members in the area.
The community consultation meeting took place on Tuesday, May 10, in the Matiwaneskop Community Hall, where a large number of community members eagerly waited to hear whether or not their concerns would be addressed.
Mayor Madlala addressed the concerns that were raised by the community and also highlighted how the municipality does all in its power to accommodate the needs of the community, prioritising service delivery.
He also touched on the issue of demarcation, explaining how Wards 24 and 23 are closely situated but fall under a completely separate programme regarding the different services provided.
Inkosi Shabalala, who was also part of the meeting, said that regular meetings between the ward councillor and the community need to take place in order to limit or avoid protest action.
