MEC calls for probe into burning of municipal vehicles MUSA MNYANDU Ndwedwe Mayor Nkosinathi Chili is concerned that the damage to municipal vehicles will impact service delivery.
T
HE KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) Sipho Hlomuka has called for an urgent investigation into the cause of the fire that damaged four vehicles belonging to Ndwedwe Local Municipality in iLembe District. The municipality said that on Thursday, January 2, at around 6am, municipal security personnel noticed flames erupting from the municipal parking lot. When security officers rushed to investigate, they found that a municipal bakkie was on fire. The fire quickly spread to three other vehicles, resulting in extensive damages. Two of the vehicles were completely destroyed, while two others were partially burnt. MEC Hlomuka has expressed deep concern at this incident and has called for a speedy investigation into the cause of this fire. “We are very concerned by this incident. The destruction of municipal assets which are meant to bring services to our communities is very unfortunate. While the circumstances around the cause of this fire may not be clear,
we have therefore directed the municipality to ensure that this incident is properly investigated and that appropriate action is taken should it be found that it was arson,” said Hlomuka. Meanwhile, Ndwedwe Mayor Nkosinathi Chili has expressed dismay over this incident. Chili said that this unfortunate incident was particularly concerning as it would have an adverse impact on service delivery. He would not be drawn into speculation that foul play could be suspected, and said law enforcement agencies needed to get to the bottom of this incident. “At this stage we cannot comment on the issue of foul play. We shall wait for the conclusion of the investigation

into the cause of the fire. We are extremely disappointed. This incident will have an impact on service delivery as without the necessary tools of trade, we cannot reach the communities to whom we are supposed to deliver essential services. We have escalated this matter to the relevant law enforcement agencies for an investigation and we are hoping that the investigation will also assist us to avoid a recurrence of incidents of this nature,” the mayor concluded. The municipal manager, Mr MF Hadebe, said that the municipality had also put together an internal task team to thoroughly investigate this incident, and to also conduct a full assessment to determine the monetary extent of the damage caused by the fire.
