Members of the community, who use the bridge to access other villages and the primary school, allegedly ran amok and refused to allow the municipal workers assigned to rebuild the bridge entry to the site.
Maraga said the party had built the bridge after the municipality had turned a deaf ear to constant pleas by the community to provide them with access to other villages. “We demand that the ruling party, which in this case is the Elias Motsoaledi local municipality, immediately release funds to build a new bridge” said Maraga. “We have already dispatched a team of experts to the area to correct our mistake,” said municipal spokesperson Simon Makua yesterday.
