Still no refuse removal in city
Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - The DA’s revelation last week about the Matlosana Municipality paying R75 million for the city’s refuse removal to a contractor that is not delivering his end of the contract, was met with silence from the municipality.
Repeated attempts by Klerksdorp Record to get comment on the allegations by the DA ended in a dead end. Cllr Gerhard Strydom for the DA, said he has tabled a motion on the issue for the next council meeting that is expected to be held on Tuesday March 26. “The council will have to break their silence and answer our questions,’’ he said.
In the meantime, all refuse removal in the city has grinded to a halt. The municipality’s failure to collect domestic refuse as scheduled has forced residents to either resort to illegal dumping or to contract private companies to do so, while the municipality continues to bill residents for this non-existent service.
