#Municipal Watch: Understanding what is happening at the Matatiele Local Municipality

View descriptionShare

Last year on the 19th of May, we spoke to representatives from the Matatiele Local Municipality after a video showing young children crossing a river where there was no bridge. The bridge was swept away by a storm. They came on the show promising to fix that bridge and other infrastructure. They also promised to come back on the show to give feedback, but since then, they kept on postponing the discussion. On the 26th of October, the communications team came to the SAfm offices to talk about a possible partnership, but then the team reminded them that they owed the residents of Matatiele a feedback interview. So today we decided to speak to the opposition parties to get a sense of what is going on in that municipality since the management does not want to honour the interview.
