“I am still trying to get more information. At this point it seems the situation is due to intimidation by some staff towards others which appears to be connected to the ongoing infighting within the ANC,” he said.

Councillor Ryley urged residents to retain their refuse until the matter was resolved to avoid the spreading of rubbish in the streets.
“If residents are able to take their bags to the dump sites at Roadhouse Crescent or Malacca Road they are to please do so,” he added.
