It is now a norm that politicians often make an avalanche of promises to citizen when vying for their votes and its very rare that they keep them upon being elected; but in cases that they do it is puzzling as to why the end product takes longer to be brought to use that’s if its not poorly constructed.
At an IDP (Integrated Development Planning) meeting hosted by the Emfuleni Local Municipality which this journalist attended, community voiced their anger and frustration over an abandoned building which they say is a library. This building which was built and completed over two years ago and up until now is not operating is situated in Palm Springs, Sebokeng.
Maya Morongwe, a concern resident said “That building has been vacant since 2009, though it is too small for a library but at least it’s a good deed by our government. Municipal vehicles are often seen making their way into the yard but nothing seem to progress. Ward Councillor Louis Ngubane referred all queries to the office of the speaker.
When contacted Emfuleni Local Municipality, Spokesperson Klaas Mofomme said “I’m currently in a meeting but l will liaise with the relevant personnel regarding the matter then will get back to you”
Meanwhile Evaton library which was closed last year due to construction after the ceiling fell is said to be at an advanced stage and will soon re-open.
