MLM clarifies mining complaints

Media Statement - The office of the Executive Mayor is inundated with complaints of individuals who falsely use the name of the municipality and/or the Executive Mayor to solicit work at mines or other companies. The responsibility of the municipality is to, inter alia, encourage cordial interaction between employers and job-seekers and other interest groups, within the relevant legislation and policies. The office of the Executive Mayor hereby categorically states that no one was ever mandated to speak on behalf of the municipality outside the Council structures.

Msukaligwa Local Municipality is currently engaged in the processes of establishing the Local Economic Development Forum. The community and all interested groups are called upon to participate in thus process in order to formalize our economic efforts in a streamlined manner. Once established, the LED Forum will be the appropriate platform to discuss economic development issues that are mutually beneficial to all.
