Makhanda water crisis: No agreement to pay for aidThe municipality denies it had a deal in place to pay the Gift of the Givers for the work it did. Same old. Same old. For another 4 years. You get what you vote for and you vote for what you get. The people have another 4 years (making it 30 years) to wake up to the fact that the ANC is for the party - collective and not for the people. Tragic. No payment......'NO AID'....SIMPLE!!!!

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.
