Councillors of the troubled Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality in North West are demanding a report into the R38-million shack call centre to be released. The North West Provincial Legislature Portfolio Committee on the Premier, Finance, Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs, recently summoned the Dr Mompati Municipality seeking answers regarding the call centre. Councillors say the call centre is useless and not beneficial to the community. It is alleged that the municipality is paying almost R300 000 for eight Lenovo desktops, more than half a million for car radios in the emergency vehicles and the just over R300 000 for handheld walkie-talkies. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Aaron Motswana, the Chairperson of North West Provincial Legislature Portfolio Committee on Premier, Finance, Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs.
