Re-ANC fails to assist communities even during times of sorrow

Re-ANC fails to assist communities even during times of sorrow

COPE in Mpumalanga accuses the ANC of failing to assist the community even during times of sorrows.

This is an ongoing problem that has unveiled itself following the death of a woman at Thusanang near Mkhuhlu.

The Manzini family lost their loved one last week and went to the local induna to ask for assistance with a grader that would prepare the road from their house to the graveyard but were then referred to the ANC local councilor.

The councilor allegedly wanted to know if the family was going to vote for the ANC in the upcoming elections and when the family told him that a person’s vote was his or her secret, the councilor refused to assist.

COPE says this is what people go through when they do not support the ruling party despite the fact that the Constitution is there to assist anyone within the country.

As COPE we call upon the communities to acknowledge this and decide on voting for a political party that is ready to make drastic changes in governance.

It is sad that the road that was damaged by rains, now has to be used by mourners despite the Bushbuckridge municipality being aware of the situation.
