MATLAPANENG- The residents of Matlapaneng were up in arms and insist that their plans to depose the current ward councillor Kedumetse Sephonono Tyalimpi are underway and gaining momentum. Matlapaneng Youth Forum chairperson Modiseotsile Lebitse said the community agreed to sign a petition to dethrone Tyalimpi before the end of this year.

According to Lebitse, the ward councillor Tyalimpi does not heed the community grievances while they continue to suffer with water, electricity and RDP houses.

“We can assure you that the current councillor will be deposed before the end of this year. We do not want Tyalimpi anymore as she does not co-operate. We continue to suffer with water in the area, electricity is a concern and RDP houses. There are RDP houses that were allocated to wrong beneficiaries. The councillor does not involve the chief into any meetings she hold in the area” Lebise said.

However the councillor refutes the claims and said she always update the community and the chief alike if there are any projects aligned. She said the electric and water issues were cleared.

“It is so surprising to see people like Lebitse being so ill-informed. I gave the community and the chief the report regarding water and electricity issues. The RDP houses issue is been handled by our provincial department” Tyalimpi said.

She also said the people are making rigorous statement to score cheap political stunt.

The resident s of Matalapaneng, Maganenng and Choseng villages have been struggling with water recently and that cause uproar.
