‘Corruption is out of control’
Binne: agri-nuus wat werklik saak maak
Green light for Traffic lights Resilient, the developers of the new Lifestyle Mall next to the R71, will soon be spending at least R3 milion on rebuilding the road and installing traffic lights.
Three sets of traffic lights should make a huge difference to traffic flow on the R71 into Tzaneen. It will also force motorists to reduce speed when approaching the fourway entrance into the town. Apart from the traffic lights, the road between die entrance to the MediClinic and the fourway crossing will have an island, preventing motorists to turn right into the Sasol filling station. Big trucks will have to find new overnight parking and in general the entrance to the town will be facelifted.
Today’s march by Cosatu in Polokwane could well witness the beginning of the end for at least twenty prominent Limpopo politicians and business ‘leaders’. Cosatu Provincial Secretary Dan Sebabi said they will march with participating tripartite alliance partners and the Mass Democratic Movement to hand over a memorandum to Premier Cassel Mathale, naming and shaming at least twenty “high flyers” and to expose a R350 million spending spree. The memorandum will be calling for criminal charges against private entities allegedly engaged in business with the Limpopo government. Sebabi said their focus is on crushing corruption so as to create jobs and deliver quality public services. He added that a follow-up march might follow early in September. He also said they will continue to focus on the affairs of parastatals and municipalities. In the mean time the Bulletin is relentless in its investigations into certain projects (in the last seven years Bulletin has probably offered the community more exposés than in the preceding seventy years!). Recently we have made further discoveries about a number of issues and on page 5 our readers get the opportunity to get to know more about one: the drama around the Dandoni Dam, Selby Construction, Esorfranki Pipelines, the Mopani District Municpality, Tlong Re Yeng Trading and others.
