Defaulting councillors cautioned by MEC
The MEC's department discovered that councillors owe more than R1,5-million to various KwaZulu-Natal municipalities.
TAKE a bow Nomusa Dube-Ncube, MEC for Co-operative Governance, for taking a no nonsense approach to councillors who default on their rates.
She quite rightly said that municipalities could not afford to have councillors who owe rates while expecting ordinary ratepayers to pay their salaries.
The MEC’s department discovered that councillors owe more than R1,5-million to various KwaZulu-Natal municipalities.
We now wait and see whether the errant councillors will lose their posts or whether the MEC is just talking election talk.
Reprehensible behaviour
THE callous action of a school caretaker who stripped a grade 1 pupil naked and hosed her down in front of her classmates was inhumane.
This ‘caretaker’ needs to be charged with child abuse. Imagine the humiliation the child suffered after soiling herself and then being subjected to being sprayed with a fire hose. Such an unfeeling person has no place in a school.
