ELM has apparently spent over R4.5 million on grave digging

“This is shocking” the DA said in a statement where they argue that the ANC-led Emfuleni Local Municipality has spent over R4.5 million on grave digging.

“It is worrying that this municipality which is facing a serious cash-flow problem continues to outsource services that can be done internally. This money could have been used to buy necessary equipment and tools needed for grave digging as well as creating employment opportunities for the local residents.” the statement reads.
The DA also called on MEC Maile to clamp down on this kind unnecessary outsourcing. This will be an important factor as part of the Emfuleni interventions to save our municipality.
“We are also calling on MEC Maile to investigate the reasons why this municipality does not have a department which deals with grave-digging services,” the statement concludes.
At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
