IFP Moves Motion of No Confidence in PMB Mayor
IFP Moves Motion of No Confidence in PMB Mayor: "IFP Moves Motion of No Confidence in PMB Mayor"
25 March 2009
The IFP in the uMsunduzi Municipality today moved a motion of no confidence in ANC Mayor Zanele Hlatshwayo citing her extravagant expenditure on pet projects and her refusal to account for a recent costly trip to America.
"Mayor Hlatshwayo's extravagant spending on mayoral projects to the tune of R7-million has not only doubled the relevant budget but also exhausted the new figure by mid-year," said IFP Councillor Candy Seymour.
The IFP presented the Council with a long list of Mayor Hlatshwayo's transgressions such as R1.5-million spent on last year's Christmas party for the elderly attended by less than one thousand people. "This is beyond acceptance, particularly when we cannot clean the city (Pietermaritzburg), fix potholes and street lights," said Cllr Seymour.
The IFP also expressed outrage about the cost, size of the delegation and the rationale behind the Mayor's trip to the US to attend, among other things, the inauguration of President Barack Obama in January this year. "The trip appeared to be a little more than a luxury holiday for pals," said Cllr Seymour.

However, the local bash was allegedly sponsored by Msunduzi Municipality ratepayers’ money.
Well, the ANC is known as a corrupt party, so maybe this matter should be investigated as a matter of urgency. Where there is smoke, there is fire.

Lack of maintenance
The Witness: "Lack of maintenance"
THE African National Congress’s 2007/08 capital budget for Msunduzi- Pietermaritzburg allocated over R110 million to the construction of 10 roads in Edendale and Vulindlela. This left very little over in the capital budget (totalling approximately R120 million and increased to R150 million) for any other projects. It is why we have no tractors cutting parks or urgent repairs to the city’s water and road networks.

Cost-cutting suggestion
The Witness: "Cost-cutting suggestion"
SO it seems that the Msunduzi Municipality is on a cost-cutting drive, which is definitely a positive step.
I have a suggestion that could help with this initiative. I suggest that a satisfaction survey is included with the next rates or electricity account in which the citizens of Pietermaritzburg (the ones the municipality are there to serve) are invited to have their say and to rate the various departments of the municipality. If the municipal manager is brave enough he could even include a category for himself.
If departments score below a certain level overall then there can be major cost cutting: it is bizarre to pay people if they are not doing the jobs they are paid to do and it doesn’t make very good business sense. Rather stop paying their salaries or fire them and employ people who are committed to do the job. It is time for the municipality to see just how people are feeling and for it to do everything in its power to make Pietermaritzburg a city of choice again.

IT must be two years or more that the Boughton bridge has supposedly been undergoing repairs. Do you think 2009 will see the start, let alone completion? The red tape surrounding the area has long since become threadbare and untidy, and traffic is still being diverted around the area without any sign of workmen or machinery. A lot of time and money was spent in planting the banks with grass and other plants, but do we have to wait for the bridge to collapse and for someone to be injured before something is done?
The old building in College Road, opposite Maritzburg College, has been taken over by vandals and the trees destroyed by fire. This would be an ideal building to convert to a restaurant with rolling lawns down to the Duzi, but instead it is fast becoming a slum area. What are the plans for this building? Does anyone care?
