He said residents had provided the city with a list of names of people who lived in the area to do the job, but it was rejected.
On October 3, Marikana residents marched to the Fezeka Municipal Building in Gugulethu to protest the lack of refuse collection. In a memorandum, the residents, supported by the Social Justice Coalition , demanded the city employ residents who were on the community list and that work resume. Asked how the city’s database worked and why the list of names provided by the residents was rejected, Mayco member for urban management, Grant Twigg, replied: “Community leaders are dissatisfied with the recruitment process, therefore they have stopped the service. The job-seekers database is the only method that will be used to employ workers by the contractor.”
Twigg added: “Leaders in some informal settlements are preventing the City of Cape Town from cleaning their communities, which now poses serious health risks. Some leaders are unhappy with and are attempting to interfere in the employment processes of the city’s Extended Public Works Programme. The problem has been exacerbated by the internal tension and conflict between the community and their elected leaders.
Twigg said the city had been engaging with the communities and their nominated leaders since the beginning of August, but was unable to reach an agreement.
That's the last thing on ramaphosa's mind....
