TSHWANE Metropolitan Council (CDP Councillor: Kerry Botha) |
29th May 2008
By allowing gated communities we give more assistance for the police to concentrate on other areas. But here we are experiencing rather a denial to the wealthy to protect and close their communities and an encouragement to bring a greater social densification thus moving towards the complete transformation of our society.

According to my calculations the salaries are 28.13% of the budget. But if one adds the expenditure for outsourced employees, which is not mentioned as it is hidden salary expenditure, then one wonders how we can justify some of the high salaries that are going to certain people in Tshwane Metro.

"What we have here describes what appears to be, a total change of staff, placed into a structure that is also changing - in every way imaginable". Read more ...

When the head of the IEC visits our Executive Mayor, and when we receive a report in the Annexure A that has not gone through a committee, and the City Manager has been given authority through the report to put in place a committee to assist with the elections at local level - we need to question this. There is too much political interference with our elections as it is. But when it is so blatant it must be pointed out. Read more ...

Comments on the FIFA World Cup Business Plan
It is a mammoth task just to read it and try to get an overall picture. One can't help feeling that it should have been given to us at least two years ago. If one examines our track record, making deadlines is not a strong point of the CTMM. Read more ...
Comments on the Policy for Municipal Entities
In principal the CDP must object to this report in its present form and the necessity for these Municipal Entities in general. It appears to be just the creation of another structure in an attempt to rectify the inabilities of the present metro system, introduced by the ANC, to cope with the running of the city. On the other hand, ... Read more ...

The disorder has been diagnosed as repeated doses of reorganization with symptoms of obsessive and repetitive rearranging. It is happening everywhere and it is causing serious repercussions. When I look at what has been happening here in Tshwane I realized that we have also contracted this same addiction. We have been under attack by a virulent negative force, which is destroying our organization slowly but surely. Read more ...

The CDP feel that the most workable solution is not to just attempt to bring all of the people to the work, but rather to take the work to the people. In other words, companies should be encouraged to develop factories and economic hubs in the areas close to where the people live at present. Incentives should be offered to these companies to entice them to do so.Read more ...
