NDZ publishes salary figures for officials 1/1 Share GK CRONJE 7 June 2022 The remuneration scale is dependant on the population size, and the income generated by the municipality. Recently, Nkosazana Clarice Dlamini-Zuma, Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) published the tiered remuneration scale of government officials, including municipal officials. The gazette states the six levels, including the upper limit, which means a specified maximum amount of costs which may be claimed. The gazette specifies the total remuneration package as the annual total cost to a municipality, including a basic salary component, a motor vehicle allowance, housing allowance, the municipal contribution to a pension, provident or retirement annuity fund, and municipal contribution to a medical aid scheme. The remuneration scale is dependant on the population size, and the income generated by the municipality. As point of reference, the highest scoring municipality will have to cough up a shocking R1 446 388 per annum for the mayor, which translates to just over R120 500 per month. The point score for Msukaligwa Local Municipality is currently at level 4, meaning that the executive mayor receives R920 656 per annum, or R76 746 per month. The speaker receives R736 530 per annum, or R61 377 per month, and the whip receives R690 808 per annum, or R57 567.00 per month, according to the gazette. < Previous Article Next Article >

Keep safe during municipal load shedding 1/0 Share GK CRONJE 11 August 2020 The increased occurrence of load shedding means also that there are more alarm activation signals received by armed response companies than usual. If the alarm is triggered because of a power surge, or because of load shedding, please contact your security company as soon as possible to cancel any false alarms. This helps ensure that armed response officers are allocated to legitimate emergencies. In light of the municipal load shedding, which has been ongoing since May 2020, residents have reported a spike in cases of burglaries, poisoning of animals and suspicious individuals skulking around under the shroud of darkness. With Msukaligwa Local Municipality dragging their feet and offering no reprieve or plan of action, the rotational load shedding can be expected to continue for the foreseeable future. This means that home owners, as well as business owners, need to make sure their alarm and security systems are tested regularly and in a working condition. These tests need to focus in particular on the battery backup systems, to ensure that it will still offer monitoring and protection when the power goes out. Many people are under the incorrect assumption that their alarm system is deactivated when the power supply is interrupted. However, if you have a stable and correctly programmed system, coupled with a battery that is in a good condition, it will continue to protect the premises during a power outage, regardless if the outage is because of load shedding or any other technical problem. The increased occurrence of load shedding means also that there are more alarm activations signals received by armed response companies than usual. If the alarm is triggered because of a power surge, or because of load shedding, please contact your security company as soon as possible to cancel any false alarms. This helps ensure that armed response officers are allocated to legitimate emergencies. This helps to free up call centre staff members to concentrate on legitimate incidents that they need to respond to. The only time any alarm system might not function correctly, is if there is a technical issue or the battery power is low. Most modern alarm systems have a back-up battery pack that activates automatically when there is a power failure. It is recommended to consider an additional battery backup pack, as load shedding puts additional strain on the battery. There are a number of practical steps that can be taken to ensure security is not compromised during any power cuts, which includes always remaining vigilant, and reporting suspicious activity in your ward to the SAPS or security agency, and ensuring that all automated gates and doors are secured. With the added inconvenience of the lights going out at night due to power cuts, candles and touch-lights are handy alternatives. Test the battery backup system, and consider an additional battery pack for standby. Tests of alarm systems should ideally be conducted every six months. Power cuts can impact on fire systems and fire control systems, so these also need to be checked regularly. The best approach is to test your alarm system, for both your home and your business, and to make any fixes that are required as soon as you can. < Previous Article Next Article >

“Los julle verskille by die deur” - Dié was die woorde van Mike Bolhuis 1/3 Share GK CRONJE 22 June 2021 Inwoners wat agteraf baie te sê het, maar as dit by die daad kom, geen bydrae lewer nie, moet hul deel begin bybring. Ongeag van wat se hoorsê in die gemeenskap rondflap, die tyd vir aksie is nou. In die woorde van Mnr. Bolhuis: “Skinder is ‘n nasionale sport van die Suid Afrikaner.” Nou is die tyd dat alle inwoners hul verskille op die kantlyn sit. Besighede word ook dringend versoek om hul klagtes in te dien. Op Vrydagaand, 18 Junie 2021, het privaat inspekteur, Mike Bolhuis, Ermelo se inwoners toegespreek rakende die swak dienslewering en finansiële wanbestuur van Msukaligwa Plaaslike Munisipaliteit (MLM). Inwoners wat die toespraak bygewoon het, was kans gegun om hul frustrasie en klagtes aan te meld, wat vanaf water en riool, elektrisiteit, geskatte meterlesings, die verkeersdepartement en lisensie kantore, tot by beweerde korrupsie vanaf die munisipale amptenare. Mnr. Bolhuis het dit duidelik gemaak vanaf die staanspoor dat die penarie waarin Ermelo hul bevind nie met die waai van ‘n towerstaffie opgelos gaan word nie, maar dat dit ‘n hewige proses sal wees. Na aanleiding van Mnr. Bolhuis, moet alle klagtes en besware gedokumenteer word. As ‘n inwoner ‘n probleem ondvervind met enige aspek van MLM, word hul versoek of foto- of videomateriaal bymekaar te maak. Sodoende sal die verdediging van MLM gekniehalter word met onbetwisbare feite. Geskatte water en elektrisiteit rekeninge moet gedokumenteer word en alles bymekaar gehou word. Mnr. Bolhuis het met lof bevestig dat geskatte rekeninge totaal en al onwettig is. Die feit dat MLM nie ordentlike en akkurate meterlesings doen nie, is ‘n misdaad. Inwoners wat ingedoen word met elektrisiteit en water rekeninge van derduisende Rande is ‘n misdaad. Die feit dat inwoners geforseer word om die geskatte rekening bedrae te betaal onder die dreigement vanaf MLM dat dienste gestaak sal word en elektriese toevoer afgesny gaan word, is ‘n misdaad. Foto’s moet geneem word van swak dienslewering en faal van dienslewering vanaf munisipale afdelings, onder andere die lisensie kantoor. “Jou foon is die belangrikste, maar ook die gevaarlikste ding wat jy by jou dra. Foto’s, video’s en klankgrepe (voice recordings) is onweerlegbare bewyse van gebeure. Neem foto’s van swak dienslewering. As jy swak dienslewering ontvang, maak ‘n video daarvan. Al hierdie dinge maak die saak net sterker,” het Mnr. Bolhuis gesê. Hy het egter ook laat hoor dat Projek Ermelo slegs ‘n sukses sal wees as alle inwoners saamstaan, ongeag van ras, ideologie en gemeenskap status. As inwoners nie kan saamstaan tydens hierdie aanslag teen MLM nie, sal die projek ‘n mislukking wees. Mnr. Bolhuis het ook inwoners genoop om nie hulself te verlustig in skinderstories, en staat te maak op hoorsê en derdehandse informasie nie. Die belangrikste deel van die projek is dat ieder en elkeen hul deel moet bring. In hierdie tyd van maak of breek is daar nie plek vir groot honde wat baie blaf en geen byt het nie. Elkeen moet hul klagte indien, elkeen moet hul bewyse van klagtes instuur na die Projek Ermelo e-pos adres. Inwoners wat agteraf baie te sê het, maar as dit by die daad kom, geen bydrae lewer nie, moet hul deel begin bybring. Ongeag van wat se hoorsê in die gemeenskap rondflap, die tyd vir aksie is nou. In die woorde van Mnr. Bolhuis: “Skinder is ‘n nasionale sport van die Suid Afrikaner.” Nou is die tyd dat alle inwoners hul verskille op die kantlyn sit. Besighede word ook dringend versoek om hul klagtes in te dien. Hoe meer bewyse ingevorder word, hoe sterker word die saak vanaf die gemeenskap teen MLM. Inwoners en besigheidseienaars word genooi om hul klagtes te stuur, gepaard met bewyse, hetsy fotografies of videomateriaal, na ermeloproject@gmail.com . U kan ook vir Kevin Duggan by 071 476 2028, of Lynette Hattingh by 082 542 9592 kontak indien u navrae het rakende Projek Ermelo. < Previous Article Next Article >

Ermelo landfill scores dismal compliance rating 1/3 Share GK CRONJE 14 September 2021 Msukaligwa Local Municipality does hold a license, but does not adhere to compliance in the slightest. Municipal deterioration is rampant and it is noticeable that especially smaller municipalities are subject to large-scale mismanagement. AfriForum has audited 153 landfill sites across South Africa this year as part of the organisation’s national project to measure the quality of landfill sites in South Africa. No nobody’s surprise, only one out of 21 landfill sites that were audited in Mpumalanga complied with national standards. In terms of applicable legislation and regulations, including the National Environmental Management: Waste Act 59 of 2008, all landfill sites must comply with specific requirements, which are not met by municipalities in Mpumalanga. The Ermelo landfill has been a subject of controversy for years, with millions of Rands wasted on contractors and needless rehabilitations of the site, just for it to fall from grace mere months following rehabilitation. In 2015, Msukaligwa Local Municipality (MLM) scored an impressive 85% compliance rating. Alas, it has all gone to the dogs from there. According to the audit, in 2016, scored 52%, and scored 42% in 2017. 2018 and 2020 saw the municipality being rated 18% each year. However, in 2019, MLM essentially failed their compliance completely, with a rating of 2%. In this year’s audit, the municipality scored a compliance rating o a mere 10%, which is well below even the lowest of acceptable standards. According to Hennie Bekker, AfriForum’s District Coordinator for the Lowveld, most of the landfill sites in Mpumalanga are in a poor state. “This can be attributed mainly to the lack of oversight functions by the state to hold municipal officials responsible for the decay of these landfill sites. The most common problems that AfriForum identified during the audit included the absence of landfill site licences, and complete mismanagement of sites. There is also no maintenance plan for machinery and employees that were contacted attested that certain machines stood for months without being repaired. In some cases there was no efficient security to secure the landfill site thus making it easy for informal reclaimers to access the site.” Msukaligwa Local Municipality does hold a license, but does not adhere to compliance in the slightest. Municipal deterioration is rampant and it is noticeable that especially smaller municipalities are subject to large-scale mismanagement. AfriForum met with Barbara Creecy, Minister of Environmental Affairs, and her team on various occasions. AfriForum will also focus on solving problems at certain landfill sites in the province in cooperation with the relevant municipality. The organization will apply pressure to get these sites up to standard. AfriForum will monitor the situation closely to ensure that these sites’ standards improve sufficiently. < Previous Article Next Article >

Dark underbelly of Ermelo’s neglected infrastructure 1/1 Share GK CRONJE 10 February 2021 Msukaligwa Municipality washes their hands of the damages suffered due to the outages. The recent heavy downpours experienced in Ermelo has highlighted various issues within the infrastructure of Ermelo and its wards. During bouts of heavy rainfall, businesses and residences are repeatedly drenched as accumulated water flood houses and ill-prepared businesses, due to the fact that the majority of storm drains are blocked and of no use. Swelling water torrents sweep through the streets and pool in ditches and dips in the CBD and residential wards. The reality of the major pollution issue within Ermelo becomes apparent as the water subsided, and all manner of refuse, fast food containers and liquor bottles are left in the wake of the torrents. Several reports of water pipes have been reported, with a vast amount of water being wasted as the thinly-spread municipal teams scramble to attend all issues reported by residents. Complaints are mounting regarding the call centre, supposedly revamped and operating at optimal capacity, where phones are left unanswered. Complaints also included rude responses from operators, or the lines remaining engaged for hours on end. Most frustratingly, many residents have been left without electricity for days on end. Heavy rainfall, rainwater pooling around substations and electrical kiosks, as well as the myriad of exposed innards from coverless electrical kiosks added to the rolling power outages. Residents in John Vorster Park struggled with fluctuating electricity supply, Netherland Park’s wards have been shrouded in darkness, and De Bruin Park’s residents suffered extensively. Most notably, residents in Jansen Street had been left without electricity for over 3 days, as from Friday morning, with some residences still being without electricity supply on Monday morning. Oosthuisen Street and Havenga Road also bore a big brunt of the outages, as accumulated rainwater caused havoc on the poorly patched MV cables. Fuming complaints on social media lamented the fact that the constant fluctuation of electricity had damaged electrical components, including DB boards, televisions, fridges and deep freezes. Many complaints also included the fact that frozen foods have thawed and spoiled due to the constant outages, with Msukaligwa Municipality washing their hands of the damages suffered due to the outages. Residents in Cassim Park are left with their hands in their hair, as scores of wards were left without electricity for hours, and even days, as technical teams struggle to keep up with reports and complaints. Residents in Wesselton and Sun City also lamented the fact that outages have been rolling and ongoing over the course of several days, much to the frustration of irrate complainants, with technical teams from the municipality taking their sweet time to attend to outages in outlying areas. < Previous Article Next Article >

While the mentioned enquiries were sidestepped, the sudden preparations were touted to be a 24-Hour Community Health Centre, to be constructed by the DPWRT on behalf of Mpumalanga Provincial Department of Health. It is a government policy to employ and procure building materials local. It was also stated that Sustainable Integrated Human Settlements Projects within the municipal area were employed, and that significant work had been done by the Department of Human Settlements towards full implementation of an integrated human settlement project in Ermelo Extension 44 and KwaZanele Extension 6.
