Lentswe, Klerksdorp - The Matlosana Municipality currently has no service provider to carry out refuse removal and is back to doing it themselves.
“Back in the day, the Matlosana Municipality had a fleet of 32 refuse removal trucks. Now only about six or seven are in use, and while they are certainly capable of providing the service, one can only think of the reasons why they always want to appoint a service provider from outside,’’ said Cllr Johannes le Grange, DA Caucus Leader.

Lentswe, Klerksdorp - Residents who are suffering due to a lack of service delivery would be shocked to know that other cities and towns have it a lot worse.
