I wish I could just pack my things n leave this country.😭 Fill the boreholes you drilled with cement - typical MYANC thievery at work - how can someone be paid for another’s work?

Makana: Gift of the Givers knew 'risks' in doing water work for Makhanda | IOL NewsThe Makana Local Municipality in the Eastern Cape said that Gift of the Givers had undertaken to do work entirely 'on risk' in water scarce Makhanda. Dis nou wat n mens n gegewe perd in die bek kyk noem. Obviously the R10 mil already has a boss. A cadre boss. Gift of the Givers discovered water and the government is now stealing their discovery, just like they are stealing your taxes and land. Of course they knew the risks,but the pullout is not about not being paid but rather the payment of 'local suppliers' for work done by GiftoftheGivers ... it's about principal of the matter.
