PAGE 2 PHALABORWA HERALD - Friday 5 February 2010
These men work
for municipality
By: Given Sebashe
Last week, the Phalaborwa/Hoedspruit
Herald published
an article about four men, whom
some residents said claim to be
working for the municipality.
The residents claimed that the
men go from yard to yard, saying
they are checking faulty water
meters.
According to some of these residents,
the men looked suspicious
as they had no identification
cards, and the bakkie they used
had no municipal identification
and was missing a number plate.
They immediately alerted the
Herald to put up a notice in an
effort to warn others not to allow
the men onto their premises, as
they might be criminals.
The Herald contacted the municipality
to confirm the appointment
of the men fitting the description
of those described by
residents. One of our journalists
ran into one of the suspects who
was also the driver of the bakkie.
In actual fact, the driver of the
bakkie is employed by the Mopani
District Municipality, which is the
water authority of the whole district.
The municipality confirmed his
employment. According to him,
he was called upon to assist
Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality. He
is serving under the water and
sewerage department of the municipality
and replaces inactive
water meters.
The bakkie he drives is a subsidised
vehicle and has not yet
received the municipal logo.
However, the municipality said
they will look into the matter and
address it soon so that residents
can identify him and his team.
They also understand that the
residents have a right not to allow
anyone onto their premises if they
suspect foul play.
The Herald would like to apologise
for any inconvenience
caused by the publication of incorrect
information.
Police arrest 20 suspects
Twenty people were arrested
by the Namakgale police for
various criminal offences committed
over the past week.
Eight males were arrested for
violation of the road traffic act,
one for drunk and driving and
three for public drinking.
Three males were arrested for
common assault, one for rape
and two for assault with intent to
cause grievous bodily harm.
One male was arrested for malicious
damage to property and
one for being in possession of
suspected stolen property.
