An SMS sent out to municipal staff from the Acting Municipal Manager, Elphas Dladla stating the following:
“Colleagues…we have experienced serious destructions in town.
An illegal march by a mob of political party members who have damaged our waste bins and scattered waste.
Please change your plans and focus in town and ensure it is clean.”
Mr Dladla has requested municipal employees to shift their attention on clean-up efforts within town to clear up what he referred to as the ‘destroyed, damaged and destructed’.
“I have received reports to say that there is an illegal march that has been around town.
The allegations are that it is a political party that is demonstrating around town that have damaged infrastructural assets, being the refuse bins, throwing waste all over the streets,” added Mr Dladla.
