Heard the mayor on radio yesterday. He was demanding information and vowed to take action. Someone from the cadre deployment committee of the ANC must have contacted him by now - but not with the information he they think he should know.

Good grief. This just when the slight concession w.r.t. the info bill made it seem as though the party is actually heeding public outrage.

@cornelius my friend that guy won't say anything regarding things like this, South Africa has become home for thugs and he does nothing to show his leadership qualities instead he takes out more Prisoners to go rape our adult citizens and abuse them. Clearly if you are not a thug like him you won't survive in S.A, this guy and his crew have messed up our beloved country and they careless as they think that they are untoucheble it shows that he (zuma) is not our president alone as he takes orders from some c**ulpr**its who su*ck this countries wealthness with him i'm referring to ppl like Pravin Matantshe, Sexwale, to name a few ANC has failed us big time. He tries by all means to win the hearts of woman in this country as he always sings one song woman empowerment, but all the problems in this country he overlooks at them now he is in Botswana left a few days after the masacre at marikana as if it does not deserve attention...........sorry i was clearying my throat like my president.

"Buyana’s dirty tricks were exposed by the municipality’s chief financial officer Lungisa Gqwetha who was subsequently put on compulsory leave after he blew the whistle on Buyana.' and you add that to the forthcoming secrecy bill and you can see that we are heading for a disaster. Municipality or ANC does does not want honest people.

I fail to understand gore he does not see or hear what ppl are crying in this country, look how many S.A woman are being used for drug trafficking around the world by foreing ppl (nigerians) can't he put some serious house rules for nigerians citizens in S.A? He does have the powers to force them out and or give them hush sentences when cinvicted, mara yena as Zuma he is busy chasing after woman and our money, can't we adopt americans when comming to presidents only the rich can run that country to avaoid crimes done by the president. Msholozi will be mosholozi he belongs in the bush cashing after cattles as he cannot run this country.

Keep voting for these anc idiots ! The only way you anc supporters/voters will ever learn is when this country is completely flushed down the drain.

we must remeber, this guy was not appointed by Zuma, he was appointed by the ANC (major or whoever). So must not fail for the ANC trick of getting a new leader and telling us everthing is going to be different from now one. The did it with Mbeki and Zuma, and they are going to do it with Zuma and XYZ. The ANC as a whole is rotten, no new or old leader can fix them.

the cadres carry on like this all the time, they all know about each others "stuff" but just carry on regardless ....this is just one case that has come to the surface..... ANC today is not the ANC that was started by the likesof Madiba.... it has become infiltrated by self serving scum.... not interested in the land and its people only thei own pockets .... this just shows they are all at it... if this didnt come out in the paper it would be "business as usual" so this is why they want the press silenced

Typical of this KSD municipality, nothing new. Why did they expose the name of the whistleblower, those who expose Gqwetha's name are the corrupt of the corrupt, they are responsible, there is a lot going on there we need people to investigate, Madonsela need to investigate that municipality and people are paying endlessly paying rates and services which are non-existence.
