Exco hear of fire engine saga through ‘Witness’
MEMBERS of the Executive Committee (Exco) at Msunduzi Municipality have lambasted fire department officials and management for bringing the council into disrepute by failing to upgrade the firefighting fleet.

Exco has certainly shown us how pathetic they are. Zanele Hlatshwyo, the sprendthrift mayor is too busy waisting ratepayers money on irrelevant projects like imbizos and youth day concerts. How is it possible that EXCO does not know what is going on in the Council they are suppose to manage. It is time the ANC sort out these pathetic, uneducated rate wasters.

Take off those blinkers
AS “out of towners”, we have spent a good few hours wandering round the streets of the capital of KwaZulu-Natal waiting for our car to be repaired.
We have been apalled by the litter on the streets and in the gutters, and that so many manhole covers are missing. Even in the city centre, broken concrete litter bins are left lying on the pavement.
When will we see the city being cleaned up and maintained? We’re so tired of inertia. How about some integrity?
There are many men who congregate at the corner of Greyling and Boshoff streets looking for work. Perhaps they would be prepared to clean the streets if given a decent wage.
We were warned not to walk anywhere near the Selgro Centre as it is dangerous. Having driven past that area, we have never noticed a police presence there.
Come Ms Mayor, you and your councillors need to stop walking around with blinkers on, get off the gravy train and start giving the citizens of Pietermaritzburg some service.
After all, the buck has to stop somewhere, why not with you?

Msunduzi fire engine crisis
The Witness: "Msunduzi fire engine crisis"
IF YOU thought the Msunduzi Municipality fire department would rescue your family in case of fire, or save your property from being gutted by fire, think again.
Most of the fire engines in the municipality are more than 20 years old and are beset by faults, which the fire-fighters have alleged the municipality is not taking seriously.
The fire-fighters, who spoke to The Witness on condition of anonymity, alleged that of about 11 fire engines, only two are in good working condition.
