Komani-Karoo Express<\/em> <\/span>oor die verwikkelinge gepols het, het te kenne gegee dat dit \u201cweer eens \u2019n verkiesingsfoefie is\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cHulle is hard besig om heuning om ons mond te smeer, maar ons is nie so dom om daarvoor te val nie,\u201d het \u2019n inwoner wat verkies om anoniem te bly, ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Newtown-woonbuurt op Fort Beaufort is een van vele woonbuurte in die Raymond Mhlaba-munisipaliteit waar swak dienslewering aan die orde van die dag is. Riooldreine loop oor, paaie is vol slaggate en vullis word op elke denkbare terrein in die woonbuurt gestort. Inwoners kla ook dat die wykskandidaat in sy afwesigheid skitter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Geen aandag word aan die gevandaliseerde gemeenskapsaal en biblioteek geskenk nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inwoners voel ook gegrief omdat werkers van ander woonbuurte ingespan word om die woonbuurt se paaie te plavei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met Komani-Karoo Express<\/em> <\/span>se besoek aan die projek, was daar nie \u2019n enkele werker van di\u00e9 woonbuurt in sig nie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Inwoners van
