Crisis
Management required at Thaba Chweu
Municipality
Once again
Thaba Chweu is making headlines with mismanagement and maladministration
running
rife through the corridors of the municipality.
During last week officials of the municipality had to do damage
control in order to prevent the assets
from being seized due to outstanding monies owed to service
providers. The Sheriff of the court arrived
with a notice of attachment issued to Thaba Chweu
Municipality for
R563 670 owing to Sivuthumlilo Trading.
Amongst the list of assets to be seized were four tractors, three
trucks, five bakkies, two trailers, twenty
computers, twenty tables and twenty chairs. Thaba Chweu then
proceeded to make the necessary
payment and seizure of the assets was prevented.
It is obvious that the financial woes of the municipality are
nowhere near ending. The DA can only hope
that the recent by-election is a sign that the tide is turning and
that the residents of Thaba Chweu are
also realising that the status quo cannot continue.
The time is coming when the DA will get the opportunity to step in
with political will and determination to
change the situation. The current government has proven time
and again in the Thaba Chweu district
that they are incompetent and not capable of running a
municipality.
It is an absolute disgrace that the residents of Thaba Chweu are
the ones who have to carry the brunt of
bad service delivery,
corruption and maladministration.
