The offices in Thulamahashe were supposed to have had phones and faxes installed in 2003, but that has not happened.

"It is not a joke anymore; we are forced to use our personal cellphones to contact people who are supposed to be called by our office," said a senior traffic cop who asked not the be identified.

"We've tried everything to get the municipality to install the phones but it never happened."

Matome Malatji, the Bushbuckridge municipality spokesman, confirmed that some of the municipality's offices were without phones and attributed the problem to a legal dispute.

He said the municipality was facing financial challenges but denied that it was bankrupt as suggested by many.

Ha hahahahah deny bankruptcy all you want. You have squandered public funds and as they say God works in mysterious ways if you guys had these phones the funds would have been exhausted a few years earlier than now, so see the lack of phones as cost saving
