Hon member, in terms of the arrest of the municipal manager whoever is there, can you and me allow that to be done by the right institutions that are capable of doing that. I am not sure about the warrant of arrest and what the charge is and all that. So, leave it to them. Your problem, which I understand, the province of Gauteng must attend to the leadership problem in that space. They must attend to it.
Of course what I have noticed at Emfuleni Local Municipality is that also residents there are to be blamed. The municipality cannot have all the money to fix this and that if people are not paying for water and electricity. A municipality is a business; I can only sell you services and you must pay for these services so that I can maintain and continue to provide you services. So, this is a problem
that we were talking about in the first question to say our people must learn to pay for services. If you get water in your house you must know that you must pay for this water and the same as with electricity. This enables whoever is responsible to bring these services can maintain the infrastructure and can continue to supply you with those services. These are some of the weaknesses but that is not to condone the leadership failures. It was supposed to be upon this leadership to ensure that people pay and if people are not paying you have got a right to switch off the services. There is no other way. There is no way where we can get free money to come and fix this infrastructure if people are not paying. That must happen.
With regard to criminal offences and what not, let us allow the police and our justice system to take care of that. [Applause.]
