Gazankulu Liberation Congress threatens shutdown

The Gazankulu Liberation Congress is threatening to shut down services in Giyani on Wednesday, as it believes that calls for service delivery are not being considered.

The Congress handed over a memorandum of demands to the Greater Giyani Local Municipality in July, and gave the municipality 21 days to respond.

Among other demands, the Congress is calling for construction of public toilets, stalls for hawkers in Giyani town and that the municipality recover the money invested in VBS Mutual Bank.

But municipal spokesperson, Steven Mabunda says the given deadline has not yet lapsed.

President for the Congress Themba Chabani says there hasn’t been any communication from the municipality since July.

Chabani says this means that the municipality is not willing to resolve the issues at hand
