OUR MEETING AND BRIEFING POINT, KGOTSONG STADIUM
Today, as part of our Know and Act in Your Neighbourhood campaign on a Mandela Day , the SACP used Kgotsong Stadium as our meeting and briefing point.
This facility is also being used as a cash cow for municipal officials. It has been renovated almost every term, yet there is no plan, mechanism, or budget in place to cater for, maintain, and secure the area.
We take a dim view of what we call a crisis of accountability and management.
Revamping facilities without proper mechanisms such as security, maintenance plans, and monitoring is a waste of community resources. If such impactful facilities are treated as a low priority, then renovations become nothing but tender looting.
Earlier today we used this area for our meeting, and as a symbol of our commitment, we painted the SACP emblem in a visible area of our township. This is to declare that we are here to remain and to participate in building a Nala that transforms our communities.
The SACP demands:
1. A public maintenance and security plan for Kgotsong Stadium
2. Accountability for funds spent on repeated renovations with no results
3. Community oversight over all municipal facilities
We will not allow public assets to be looted while our people suffer.
