Muhlava Cross and Sasekani residents (between Nkowankowa and Lenyenye) say there are a lot of underlying issues to why clean water is not supplied to their homes, but none of them are to do with the lack of water! The Mopani District Municipality is seen to be at the centre of the problem. Read more about the situation on page 3.
The unexpected resignation of the GTM’s director of corporate services, Mr Elias Mugari, has sent shock waves through the institution. Mugari is seen as professional, punctual, and reasonable. Elias Mugari The spokesperson of the GTM, Mr Neville Ndlala, said Mugari’s resignation “is still with the mayor and she will discuss it with the council”. “We will not comment until the council has considered the matter,” he told the Bulletin. Rumor has it that Mugari was “threatened” with a court interdict, but nobody seems to know what about such an interdict could have been. It is said that Mugari has been seen as a person who stepped away from anything that could be seen as irregular and that “he worked according to the book”.
