Your views on your bankrupt, dysfunctional municipality - p 4 & 5
A lone ‘entrepreneur’ (right) is fighting a losing battle against the potholes on the Burgersfort - Penge road just past the Dresden turn-off. Although he is fighting a losing battle on this road, which is now rapidly degenerating to gravel, it seems on the surface that his efforts is not much worse than that of a whole ‘maintenance’ team, upsurping his role on the same road. More about the roads on page 2.
Black Friday Tubatse Crossing Mall will be a hive of activity today. Burgersfort will be a hive of activity. Everybody will be in town, looking for a special. Take care, be careful with your money and decisions. Businesses want to do business. They want your money. In the end, be wide awake and enjoy yourself (if you can afford it).

The Steelpoort to Lydenburg road past Lapeng Lodge. This is a tarred road ... The government’s people formally promised to fix. As usual it proved to be an empty promise for now. A losing battle on the same road (right).
Road rules still apply. Don’t forget to stop at the railway crossing. This is not funny.
Add Hope making it count in Mabotsha A small group of volunteer workers at a care centre in Limpopo are committed to fuelling children’s bodies and minds. Mabotsha Home Based Care provides balanced meals to 64 children, helps them with homework, and teaches extra-mural activities such as music, dance and poetry. Based in Burgersfort, Mabotsha Home Based Care recently received R96 000 from Add Hope, which will allow them to continue to assist the vulnerable and orphaned children in their care. Christinah Makhini, Mabotsha’s project manager, says that the two-year partnership with Add Hope has helped them significantly to feed and nurture the growing number of children at the centre. “When we started Mabotsha in 2002, it was without any funding,” says Makhini. In 2005, we received a grant from the Department of Health, which enabled us to continue our work. It is with thanks to Add Hope and our two-year partnership with them that enables us to do greater work in the community, and to not turn anyone away.” The Add Hope initiative has raised more than R492 million since 2009, and has reached more than 120 000 children who benefit from sustainable feeding programmes across South Africa. Add Hope has partnered with 143 national and local organisations, and is able to reach so many children thanks to each R2 customer donation. Thabisa Mkhwanazi, the KFC Corporate Affairs Director for Africa and Add Hope Champion says, “Feeding children and fostering their health and development is a critical concern for us. Currently, one in five children in the country is suffering from learning difficulties and stunted growth as a result of hunger and malnutrition, and we remain committed to helping organisations like Mabotsha Home Based Care continue with their outstanding work.”
The most recently painted white line and some of the road marks on the R555 (top and bottom) between Burgersfort and Ohrigstad. This is also not funny. People actually get paid for it ...

Water tanks for Mokutung
Mokutung Village is one of those villages that has been struggling for years to get a constant and proper supply of water. The Sekhukhune District Municipality responsible for the supply of water is however in the process of addressing these problems. Part of this has been the delivery of brand new water tanks that will be installed with a

new pump to ensure the community will get the benefit of potable water supply. This week the village headman, Mr Emmanuel Mmopane told Platinum Gazette that they are happy with the progress so far and is hoping the project will be completed soon as they are thirsty for the water supply that was promised.
With all Burgersfort’s municipal service problems, a proper landfill site is still lacking. This is not a landfill site. This is next to the Penge road near Alverton. The skips are used by residents, but are not adequate to handle all the waste. They also seem to be emptied on a regular basis, but exactly how regular is not certain.

Your views on the woes facing The Fetakgomo Tubatse Local Municipality (FTLM) has experienced financial strain for many months and is currently seen as technically bankcrupt. This week the Provincial government announced that it will be intervening in the affairs of FTLM to try and get the municipality back on track as a possible economic hub. They issued the following statement: “Fetakgomo Tubatse Local Municipality was identified among the seven (7) distressed Municipalities during 2017 and has been identified for targeted support and oversight, and it is one of the Priority Provincial Growth Point Municipalities with high potential for economic development. The Municipality is however under severe financial pressure, and has also been faced with community uprisings due to delays in service delivery. Noting that the information provided in Section 71 reports is not credible and does not truly reflect the state of affairs in the municipality, the municipality was requested to provide cash-flow information from July 2018 to date, as well as projections for the remaining months of the year to determine its liquidity. An analysis of the cash flow conducted by the Provincial Treasury, CoGHSTA and the Municipality on 22 October 2018 revealed severe financial pressure as serious, and further that it is paying the salaries at expense of other creditors. The analysis also revealed the following risks and challenges: The municipality is technically bankrupt, and is at a risk of litigations due to inability to meet financial obligations; contractors for own funded projects are not paid and this may lead to community protests due to slow implementation of projects; conditional grants are not used for the intended purpose due to the financial pressures; non implementation of the financial recovery plan adopted to mitigate the VBS exposure due to resistance from council and staff; incomplete Operation Mabone project which would result in community unrest. There is a court case on this project between the municipality, service provider and Special Investigation Unit (SIU). The contingent liability of the municipality is R195 million as per 31 June 2018 AFS, and should the municipality lose the case they will be liable for payment. Office lease agreement is expiring in June 2020. Should the municipality’s financial health not improve, this will add to the financial burden. The municipality has not paid monthly rental of R1,8 million since July 2018. In addition to the financial pressures, there is inadequate accountability in the Budget and the Provincial Treasury resulting from the resignation of the Chief Financial Officer. The municipality has not yet promulgated the property rates by-laws to give effect to the implementation of the Property Rates Policy. It is on the basis of the financial pressures faced by the Municipality that a recommendation is hereby made for the provincial government to intervene and place the municipality under section 139(1)(b) of the Constitution. Section 139(1)(b) maintains that when a municipality cannot or does not fulfill an executive obligation in terms of the Constitution or legislation, the relevant provincial executive may intervene by taking any appropriate steps to ensure fulfillment of that obligation by assuming responsibility for the relevant obligation in the municipality; and the focus of the intervention will be to stabilise the financial situation in line with the provisions of Section 137 of the Municipal Finance Management Act No 56 of 2003. The Executive Council resolved to place Fetakgomo Tubatse Local Municipality under Section 139(1)(b) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. Municipalities are at the coalface of service delivery and its importance for them to deliver services in an effective and efficient manner. The Provincial Government cannot fold arms while service delivery and financial
status deteriorates in our municipalities. As Government, we remain focused in ensuring that our communities continue to have uninterrupted access to basic services.” In simple terms this means that the municipality will be placed under administration, but that the council will not be dissolved. They will be kept in place and will be required to still fulfill their duties. To bring things from bad to worse, municipal employees belonging to the workers union SAMWU are still on strike. This means that no services like issuing of traffic licenses and town planning documents required by law, can be done. However part of their demands had been met as the FTLM council took a decision to suspend the Municipal Manager and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This is just one of ripple effects of the reckless investment of more than R230 million in the VBS Mutual Bank. This week the group said that they would only return to work and consider negotiating while at work if the Director of Corporate Services is also suspended. They claim he has been irregularly appointed by the now, suspended Municipal Manager. Platinum Gazette asked readers what they think about the woes faced by the municipality and the workers’ strike.
Mr Hamilton Maepa said: “We need to remember that all leadership is instituted by God. We need to put God first. I think it is good that the municipality will go under administration. Maybe there will be a change, but they still need to put God first”.
Mr Tebatso Chuene said: “Things will now be worse. There is no money to take from somewhere else to fill our gaps left by the VBS money. The workers must go back to work and continue negotiating while they work. After all this, the people won’t trust the ANC again. They will vote for other parties”.
Mr C.T Motseo, Mr S. Motseo and Mr Kolokoto Makofane said: “It will be better now that the provincial government is taking over. Nothing has improved in the last 4 years in our municipality. Look at the roads and our robots are not working there at Cheap Cheap. The staff must go back to work and give services. Next year people will not vote ANC because of this”. Ms Hazel Chiloane said: “In the next election people should vote for other parties. These guys just drained our money while making themselves rich. The striking workers should go back to work, otherwise they will suffer in December without pay. Their families will suffer. It will definitely make a difference with the municipality now going under administration”.
Mnr Abraham Mokwena sê: “Dis goed dat die province se mense nou ingryp. Die werkers moet asseblief nie meer strike nie”.
Mr Excellent Mohlala said: “The VBS money is gone. There is nothing that will bring it back. People should remember it this coming election. Perhaps new people form opposition parties would have learned from the ANC’s mistakes and do better. As long as it is not the ANC winning in the next election it will be better. These people just wanted to enrich themselves and not make our country a better place for everyone. I think the municipal staff should now just go back to work and give the services they still can”.
Ms Sanny Mkhondo said: “There is no hope for our municipality. Next year voters will go for independent parties and many will introduce independent parties. People are tired of the ANC, EFF, DA and other old parties. All they do is make promises that they don’t keep. It will be better if the striking workers of our municipality go back to work. They are there to serve. The strike won’t change the current situation”.
Left: Mr Tshepo Mamogala said: “Those who were part of the VBS scandal should be fired. We cannot allow this corruption any more”.

our municipality after VBS
Ms Prudence Motene, Ms Lizzy Mokwena and Ms Julia Mokwena said: “Yes, things will now get better with the municipality being under administration. The municipal staff should go back to work now and negotiate further there. This whole thing will make people vote for other parties because of their disappointment caused by the VBS issue”.
Mr Ronny Mogoane and Mr Puleng Nonyane said: “The staff on strike must go back to work. The changes that provincial administration will bring can be good. In the next election people will not trust the ANC because of this”.
Mr Bennett Moraba said: “The provincial government must address the issues at our municipality. Workers must go back to work so they can get paid again. For now being placed under administration is the best decision. They should fire those responsible for the VBS issue. With Ramaphosa as president I have faith that they can sort this out. It will have a negative impact on the election next year, but they now still have time to fix it. Ramaphosa must act now”.
Mr Abel Nkwana and Mr Marvin Shai said: “Placing the municipality under administration will not change anything. The money is gone. We want people to go to jail. We cannot vote ANC again. We must now check for other parties”.
Mr Doctor Masinga said: “I think things will get better at our municipality now. The people who are on strike must go back to work. People are suffering. We cannot take out licenses and pay fines. We need to have our things in order to transport the public. Corruption at our municipality is a big problem. I really don’t know how this whole thing will impact the election next year”.
Mr Lucas Mamaila said: “We are not moving in the right direction. They should sell the properties of those involved in the VBS scandal and then at least we can get some of the money back. This is a national problem and it will affect the votes next year. The staff at our municipality should go back to work because their families will suffer over Christmas with them not getting paid. Those responsible for VBS have money and they won’t suffer”. With him are Kgothatso and Boitumelo.
Ms Margret Mnisi said: “It is good that province is placing the municipality under administration, but in next year’s election we must think before we vote. We cannot vote for the same party who was in charge of wasting millions”.
Mr Lifi Thlaka said: “By placing the municipality under provincial care is one way of getting to the root of this VBS thing. It is a step in the right direction. The strike of the municipal workers is unfair on both sides. Based on the fact that some of their demands have been met I think they should go back to work and there negotiate further. The suspension and possible firing of those responsible for the VBS thing is one way of paving the way for the next election, but it will haunt the ANC. People should also remember that in the bigger picture of this VBS mess, different political parties’ members are being implicated”. Left: Mr Frans Malesa said: “The provincial people should fire those responsible for VBS money being lost. It is good that they are placing the municipality under administration”. Right: Mr Gift Maphanga said: “It will be better now that province is putting the municipality under administration. I also think people will due to this consider voting for other parties in next year’s election. I think they should now stop the strike at the municipality. It is not the solution for all these problems”.
Mr Kgodiswana Rantho said: “What happened at our municipality with this VBS money is totally wrong. It is unacceptable. The administration of the municipality under the ANC must come to an end. People must learn to change the menu and start voting for other political parties. I’ll be voting PAC as that party was also part of the struggle and is still struggling with the masses. Placing the municipality under administration will not have a lasting impact. I also think that the striking workers should return to work as some of their demands had been met. They can still engage to resolve the other issues while they are at work”.
