The chairperson of the South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO), Vusi Yase, confirmed that by launching a branch in Ngqeleni, they would bring an improvement in the community, as people would now know who to talk to when they wanted service delivery.
The launch was held at Ngqeleni Town Hall in Ngqeleni, last week. He said there were a lot of problems in Ngqeleni, regarding service delivery.
“Horses are just roaming around. We have a problem with sewage and there are speed humps problems that need to be resolved. If the lights are not working, it takes time for them to be fixed.
“We have so many challenges that need to be resolved,” said Yase.
He said their municipality was based in Libode, so it is hard for residents to get services but that SANCO would become their weapon to change the situation.
He added that they believed that their area was very rich because they also had a nature reserve and access to the ocean.
He added that, due to the bad access roads, it was hard for the tourists to reach those areas.
He confirmed that they had also elected new members of SANCO in that area, who would make sure that they voiced out the challenges the community was facing.
The chairperson for SANCO in the region, Vusumzi Ntshuba, said they had launched this branch because they were preparing for their conference.
“We launched this branch at the time when the community members are having problems. We are hoping that this initiative would be a tool to fight and get solutions to their problems,” said Ntshuba.
