WARD 9 NEWSFLASH - February 2010
Guinea Fowls
The article in The Herald of 22 February 2010, “Poisoning suspected as
40 guinea fowl found dead” in the Fernglen area refers.
It is with the utmost shock and disgust that I have learnt about this
unfortunate incident which took place on Friday, 19 February 2010 in
our midst. There are clear signs that human intervention (poisoning)
may have played a major role here. Tests are currently being done to
determine the cause of the death of the birds.
Unfortunately I was on council business in Cape Town at the time of the
incident, but would like to thank all those who lent a helping hand.
Dilapidated Houses
I receive continuous queries re the dilapidated houses in our ward (in
particular Cosmos Street and the house on the corner of Boshoff
& Cape Rd, Westering) and many others. Herewith the response we
received from an official at NMBM:
”… a Memo was sent to Mrs Dawn McCarthy asking her to ask
our Legal Department to appoint a firm of attorneys to assist us in
this matter. Shall let you know once I have any news on the matter.”
Please note that I have done a site inspection at the abovementioned
areas last week and due to the fact that these issues have been long
outstanding now, I had no alternative but to engage the process of
involving the media. My concern is that these areas/plots are creating
a health hazard, friendly environment for criminal activities and have
an immediate negative impact on the surrounding properties. I
trust that the pressure the municipality is receiving from my office,
the residents and the media will result in positive action from their
side.
How
can I be of assistance? Please feel free to contact me.
Best Regards
Councillor Heinrich
Muller (Democratic Alliance)
