I REFER to Rick Crouch’s letter correcting me for stating that ward 10 is adjacent top Ward 8, and I wish to point out that eThekwini Website has a map entitled “eThekwini Ward Map – New Boundaries”, which I now know is in fact the old boundaries.
Furthermore, I looked at the Demarcation Board’s site to get the new maps, and found that even their overall map, displayed as current, has not been updated with the new boundaries; Mr Crouch acknowledged to me that he knew about that.
Since South Africa is supposed to be a Constitutional Democracy, with a universal franchise based on wards and constituencies, how can we have any faith in the fairness and integrity of the administration of the democratic dispensation?
