“It is worrying that this municipality which is facing a serious cash-flow problem continues to outsource services that can be done internally. This money could have been used to buy necessary equipment and tools needed for grave digging as well as creating employment opportunities for the local residents.” the statement reads.
The DA also called on MEC Maile to clamp down on this kind unnecessary outsourcing. This will be an important factor as part of the Emfuleni interventions to save our municipality.
“We are also calling on MEC Maile to investigate the reasons why this municipality does not have a department which deals with grave-digging services,” the statement concludes.
