Thank you House Chair. Deputy President, the eMfuleni Local Municipality in Gauteng is under administration at the moment. Things have gotten so bad that on Monday all of their computers were attached by the sheriff of the court. Things have gotten so bad that last week Friday, the ANC marched against their arch enemy, the ANC, to demand that the Hawks take action against the ANC cadres deployed there who have stolen the money.
Now, Deputy President, you have intervened already and the army was sent there to stop the sewage flooring, raw sewage, from flowing into the Vaal River, but that army wasn't given the budget to do anything. So, what effectively has been happening is that they are
sitting waiting for a budget and doing nothing more than being expensive security guards. They are unable to utilise their manpower to address the issue because they have not got the funding. Considering the total lack of success in this case - where you have intervened, Deputy President - what will you do to fix it?
