The shocking state of Margate’s CBD yesterday (Sunday).
On a Ward 18 Whatsapp group, Councillor Doug Rawlins asked yesterday (Sunday) if the town had been cleaned on Saturday evening as there was rubbish in every street in the Port Shepstone CBD.
All the bins are overflowing with rubbish. It’s really looking bad – Cllr Rawlins.
The Port Shepstone CB yesterday (Sunday).
In response to the message, Head of Department for Ray Nknoyeni Municipality’s Community Services Mthandeni Ndwalane replied that it had not been cleaned and agreed it was terrible.
The sad state of Port Shepstone.
The contract of the service provider came to an end last week Thursday. The new contractor will be appointed this month. I should have arranged for internal staff to work over the weekend, I apologise. We shall sort everything out tomorrow morning and this will never happen again – Mthandeni Ndwalane.
