Another failed ANC project under the guise of the Khawuleza Model launched at the expense of impoverished taxpayers. The ruling ANC president, Cyril Ramaphosa, declared that the Khawuleza municipality and environment is the place to create jobs.

Ethekwini Metropolitan Municipality is expected to get R28.6 billion to initiate the Khawuleza project.

The district’s model will apparently receive the huge amount over the 5-year period for the project, and funding planning and spending will be integrated with the governments.

A reader told Die Vryburger he was aware of several cases where traffic officials “exempted” fines for their friends.

The residents descended on land in Mary Thipe Road, which boarders Mayville and Manor Gardens, on Monday and Tuesday and started clearing the bushes and allocating themselves plots to start building shacks.

While many residents were not willing to be interviewed or photographed, Happy Zwane told TimesLIVE that she was clearing the bush so that she could build her two children a home to leave them with when she dies.

“I have two children and I’m not married and I want to clear a plot for them so that when I die they would have a place to live. I don’t have a place of my own because I don’t own the place I live in. So I want to live my children with a home,” she said.
