"We, the people of South Africa, Recognise the injustices of our past; Honour those who suffered for justice and freedom in our land; Respect those who have worked to build and develop our country; and Believe that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, united in our diversity.” Preamble to the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa.

The beast could get bigger!


If current proposals at the Municipal Demarcation Board are successful, we could see the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipalities’ size grow further but having outlying (non-rate paying) villages incorporated into our boundaries. At current, the institution of BCMM is a beast that is proving difficult to tame, and increasing its size would simply exacerbate the situation. Where would the money and manpower come from to provide services in these areas?
