"The council here has proven to be useless" - SANCO hits hard at Maquassi Hills Council



The South African National Civic Organisation - SANCO in the North West has hit hard at  the Maquassi Hills Municipal Council over failing to have their house in order

The civic organisation was speaking on the sidelines of protest over Provident Fund issues in the municipality recently

SANCO representative slammed Maquassi Hills Municipal Council for failure to resolve issues engulfing the municipality




SANCO is calling for the disbandment of the Maquassi Hills Municipality after council members were thrown out of the North West Provincial Legislature's SCOPA meeting for failing to deliver a financial report and answer audit questions as more issues continue to pile up

The SCOPA committee is aware that, the Maquassi Hills residents are not receiving proper municipal services, however, the municipality has called on residents with municipal debts such as of that of water  to make payments for services provided by the municipality



"The council here has proven to be be useless for a very long time, why are we still having this council here, they could not account to SCOPA for anything. Now what is the point of having them here. The challenges that are facing the community here, are challenges we can afford to tolerate or ignore as SANCO. It's been a long time, we have been subjected to this nonsense for a very long time, that's why these people must go" - The South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO) representative

SCOPA committee Chairperson Smuts Matshe says, they are disappointed by how the Maquassi Hills Municipality treats its residents




Matshe says, councillors from Maquassi Hills still have to account on how municipal funds were used, he requested reports from the council detailing why they failed to answer questions at the meeting and why also did they not provide with adequate financial report

The council is expected back at the committee to account on a date that will be decided on
