We are now at 167 signatures, and the evidence of the Metro's warped priorities keeps growing.
While we were told there is no money for Ward 6 infrastructure (now confirmed to be a Capital Projects cut), photos have emerged from Retief Odendaal showing brand new leather chairs in the Mayor’s Boardroom.
The Maths of Betrayal:
R500,000 for Laptops.
Thousands more for Leather Chairs.
BUT: R400,000 cut from our Ward 6 infrastructure.
We aren't just paying for services anymore; we're paying for a luxury lifestyle at City Hall while we celebrate 'pothole birthdays.'
