The Municipality has done nothing thus far.
This resulted in the Ward 5 community taking to the streets on Monday April 10 and blocked the Mokolo intersection.
“As the community we understand that anyone engaged in corrupt activities must be removed from a public institution because our elected public representative must serve us honestly, diligently with dignity and respect”, stated the secretary of the Community Representative Council, Amos Medupi.
While the community displayed their dissatisfaction, organisers of the protest were approached by the Hoedspruit police who were trying to keep the peace.
“The police officers offered to transport us to the municipal offices to engage the authorities regarding our grievances,” he further stated.
Attempts to contact the Maruleng Municipality spokesperson John Seokoma drew a blank as phone calls rang unanswered.
