DEAR Editor,-
Taken from Ugu District Council’s website: ‘Our district has always been and continues to remain a district of stark contrasts between those who enjoy the highest standard of living, and those who struggle to make ends meet. It is a district of colliding worlds and visions; a district which still bears the service delivery scars of the unjust and immoral system of the pre-colonial regime.”

Amazing! I didn’t realise there was any factual history about the district from ‘pre-colonial regimes’. They must be talking about Shaka Zulu and Dingaan’s time? Or maybe even Cetswayo’s? We do however know that service delivery during those times was non-existent – No piped water and no sewerage systems, except the nearby bushes.
The trouble is that Ugu seems to be reverting to those days. They laugh off sewage spills into lagoons and ensure that every day somewhere in the area, some people have no water in their pipes.
I suppose it takes practice and experimentation to perfect incompetence, but Ugu is certainly winning.
