One of the busiest and most dangerous Eastern Cape roads, the R410 linking Komani to Cacadu (formerly Lady Frere) in Emalahleni municipality, is to undergo a R900m facelift by Sanral.
An angry Eastern Cape businessman, whose truck was damaged by a municipal vehicle, has been arrested after seizing four municipal vehicles, including the mayor’s official car while the mayor was in it. The Cacadu businessman accused Emalahleni municipality of failing to honour its commitment to pay for the damage to his truck.
The fight for basic services, including access to clean water, in Indwe, a small town in the Chris Hani District Municipality near Dordrecht, has led to community leaders being dragged to court.
The Emalahleni Local Municipality has been granted an interdict against protesters complaining about services who blocked streets in Indwe, Eastern Cape.
