The metro wars

The Witness: "The metro wars"
ALLEGED infighting among Afri­can National Congress members over Pietermaritzburg’s metro status has once again thrust into the limelight the future management of the region.....

Msunduzi tardiness

The Witness: "Msunduzi tardiness"
HAVING visited the Garden and Leisure Show I noticed, sadly, that the Msunduzi Municipal display was given a low mark for not completing on time.

What’s new? The municipality shows a complete indifference to completing any of its tasks on time, including its day-to-day duties.

Tardiness
I worked in the Town Clerk's department in the mid 60's and mid 70's, and felt priveleged to have worked with men and women of such high standards. David Coleman was the Witness municipal reporter in those days. I don't believe that your current "Town Clerk", so to speak, would have filled the shoes of Vusi, who was a cleaner of great integrity. Your current mayor leaves even less to be desired. In those times, no detail was ever left wanting. Councillors were not paid and did what they did for the city because of their business expertise, generally.
