City continues to be dismayed at bad faith of the Social Justice Coalition
The City is dismayed that the Social Justice Coalition (SJC) has yet again acted in bad faith as they prepare to launch a ‘report' on their ‘social audit' into the City's Janitorial Programme. Read more below:
At the outset it must be noted that the City of Cape Town has, over the last few years, done all it can to provide comprehensive information to the SJC on the Janitorial Programme. The City has even gone so far as to participate in a mediation process with the SJC on the Janitorial Programme, in the hope that it would help create a beneficial working relationship. Unfortunately, at virtually every stage of this process, the SJC has not cooperated and has ignored substantive concerns - not only expressed by the City but by other organisations as well.
The key concerns the City has are as follows:
The SJC has yet to acknowledge or apologise for the inaccurate information that they circulated during their last social audit concerning area cleaning and refuse removal.
The SJC has yet to acknowledge that they fail to understand complex government processes, particularly relating to legislative, financial and human resource constraints.
