FRANCISTOWN: A special council meeting was brought to an abrupt end here by furious councillors who vehemently accused the city council administration wing of taking them for granted.

The councillors had convened the meeting to air their grievances about the ailing service delivery by city council officers. Councillors summoned FCC heads of department as well as the administration's head honcho, city clerk Charles Amos, to avail themselves at the meeting in order to explain themselves. However, inexplicably, in what looked like a horrible snub the heads did not turn up which set councillors' tempers at boiling point.

Only Amos honoured the appointment and as a result, the legislators decided to call off the meeting.They said they would not have anything to do with his "feeble explanations". The city clerk had just settled behind the podium in a bid to respond to some of their concerns when the councillors said enough is enough.
