Councils Fight Over Boundaries :: Mmegi Online

Kgatleng District and South East District councils are at loggerheads over the intrusion of the latter into kgatleng’s territory without any consultation. On November 15, the South East District Council (SEDC) held a stakeholders’ meeting for the supply and installation of traffic lights at Oodi-Mmamashia junction, a territory that is under Kgatleng District Council (KDC).

The KDC chairperson, Mpho Morolong said he was not aware of the development as he was never briefed by anybody on the matter. “I do not know that SEDC will be installing traffic lights in Kgatleng. It is news to me. I will follow the matter up and come back to you,” he told The Monitor in a brief interview.

Morolong was not the only one who was clueless. So was his counterpart at SEDC, Phenyo Segokgo, who expressed ignorance about the project. “I cannot grant any interview on the matter as I do not have information. Please speak to our public relations (PR) officers as they are the ones who have sent media invitations. They might have more clues on that,” he said.
