The situation remains dire for many residents of Makhanda in the Eastern Cape. CourtesyThe Makana local municipality denies promising aid organisation Gift of the Givers money, to assist with its water crisis.Locals have been left without water due to persistent drought.“We never made any promise, we never said we will pay them for the service,” said Makana Municipal Manager Moppo Mene.

MakhandaMorons: The GiftOfTheGivers is a charity, so not paying back the money they spent on doing YOUR work, means that their work in assisting the poor & those left vulnerable by disasters, will be negatively affected! But then, ANCDeployees don't care about consequences!
SAVoters don't care how many times the ANC stuffs up: Makhanda will remain in ANC hands in the next municipal elections!
Having saved the useless ANCDeployees in Makhanda from their self-inflicted disaster, these incompetent & ungrateful bureaucrats have now kicked the GiftOfTheGivers in the teeth! Still, I'm willing to bet that voters will bring the ANC back into power in 2021!
Now why don't we believe the municipality? Disgraceful and dishonest. Gift of the Givers jumped in and helped with a dire, desperate situation and now suddenly no money for them?Pull the other one. Leave with your integrity and dignity intact Gift of the Givers and thank you!

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.
