Hawkers: Gloves are off
It is now a matter of gloves off... Hawkers that are invading main roads, like the R71, have to be stopped. It has become a traffic hazard in some areas around Tzaneen as well as between Letsitele and Rubbervale and road safety is being compromised rather seriously. The GTM’s traffic chief says it is the Limpopo traffic police’s responsibility, but they deny that and say the SA Police should act. The Department of Transport (Limpopo) say they will investigate, but that is cheap talk. The Bulletin tried that route many a time in the last couple of years. We were promised that the situation would be investigated, but nothing ever happened. RAL (Road Agency Limpopo) has been experienced as
even worse and in 2014 we could not locate a single person in that organisation to even answer a telephone! So now a group of farmers have instructed Mr Aldo Rech (left) of the law firm Joubert & May to approach the Supreme Court — in order to establish who exactly should be held responsible and what to do to control the growth in illegal hawker numbers on the roads. One of the frustrations that farmers have to entertain, is the alarming increase in the theft of fruit (and vegetables in certain areas). It is said that as the numbers of hawkers increase, the volumes of fruit disappearing from orchards grow. Rech couldn’t confirm when the court will be approached,
since a lot of research is still being done and only then the compilation of the legal documents needed for such an action can follow. It could take a couple of months and then a date has to be booked, which also take months with court rolls being over full.
A man of his word!
New MM The Greater Tzaneen Municipality’s new Municipal Manager moved into the hot chair on Tuesday. Mr Selemo Monakedi took over from Mr Pierre van den Heever, who acted as MM for the last few months. We suggested to Monakedi that he grants us an interview in two weeks time, so as to allow him to settle in a bit before we interview him on his vision for the GTM over the next two years (the duration of his contract). He accepted our request and we will thus talk to him towards the middle of the month and then report back to our readers on the road forward for and with him.
