And the public do not want their money used in that kind of cavalier fashion. |
But we can't have land invasions, we can't allow that. We will provide temporary shelter while we wait for a long term solution. But this (relocation) is the start of that long term solution. |
For the ANC to cry 'sabotage' the night before crucial local government elections shows just how desperate they are to disguise their incompetence and mismanagement. |
For the time being, we cannot throw millions of rands of public money into starting this project unless we can be sure we will be able to finish it. |
I have already stated that we cannot start signing contracts worth millions of rands until we have been given adequate information on how much the stadium will cost and how it will be paid for. Thus far we have not been presented with a proper financial model to work with, and it would be irresponsible to proceed without one. |

If we can't track these firearms, we need to know how they went missing and where to find them. |
In essence, the education department argues that the quality of the education children receive is irrelevant, as long as someone stands in front of the class. |
It is of extreme concern if our tracking system cannot track firearms. We had better make sure we know how to find them. If they are untraceable in the system it is bad enough, but if they are stolen, it is worse. We must report this to the police immediately. |
It's as big a scandal, for example, as the voluntary severance packages in schools which stripped education of so many skills and experience at the cost of billions of rands, and the schools system hasn't recovered. |
It's quite some spare part. We're delighted to be able to get this. It has been a small miracle. |
Press reports that there has been a staff purge at the Civic Centre are incorrect. |
So, here we stand with the greatest challenge we have faced. We have got to provide a stable government in Cape Town. |
The blame for the current state of the fire services must fall squarely on the mayor. |
The city has made a mess of firefighters' salaries because of the restructuring process, which is taking far too long. |
