Woestyn in die Vrystaat
DIT lyk werklik nie goed in die Bultfontein-distrik nie. Dié foto is Donderdag (19/11) om 07:30 tussen Bultfontein en Welkom geneem, ongeveer 5 km buite die dorp. Dit lyk soos ’n woestyn. Foto: Linda du Plessis
Intervention needed Gross maladministration can no longer be tolerated Marti Will IN a desperate attempt to address the continuing gross maladministration of the Matjhabeng Local Municipality, the Goldfields Chamber of Business has approached the National Department of Treasury to urgently intervene. The chamber is not without muscle and represents some 250 local businesses and is a member of the largest business associations in the country, namely the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Sacci) and the Afrikaanse Handelsinstituut (AHI). The chamber is apolitical. Schalk van der Merwe, president of the chamber, said his organisation had been
involved in personal and ongoing negotiations with the municipality over a number of years, but to no avail. “We have offered personal assistance. We have given advice. We have asked for co-operation,” he said. The Matjhabeng Municipality has a long history of maladministration and historic disputes with its main utility suppliers and is currently in arrears with billions of rands, some of which can be traced back more than a decade. “The municipality faces ongoing litigation from both its key utility providers and some of its private providers. “Delivery of services from both Eskom and Sedibeng Water have been cut, restricted or threatened to be totally

suspended at various times during the last few months.” Furthermore, Van der Merwe said, the troubled municipal service delivery, the rapidly deteriorating infrastructure and poor administration have impacted negatively on the economy. “We need a strong local government that is efficient in its operations to enable our members to assist in the greater drive by government to increase business development. “We need an excellent relationship with Eskom as our electrical energy provider and stable water provision for business activities. “As an apolitical body of businesses and professionals, we are in a unique position

to offer the municipality basically all that is needed for a quick and effective turnaround within a very short time frame. All services needing remedial action, fall within our members’ scope of expertise. We will even be willing to recruit volunteers if necessary.” Van der Merwe said the chamber’s objective is to reach a beneficial outcome for the business community to ensure the economic viability of the Goldfields. “We have requested the National Department of Treasury to exercise its constitutional rights and obligations and intervene in a meaningful way. We have requested to be part of this process as key stakeholder and to assist and monitor the process as it is planned and rolled out,” he said.
