Vat Alles disrupts the new EPWP programme
04 January 2018
The Member of the Mayoral Committee, Cllr Cilliers Brink has noted with concern the disruptions of the EPWP programme at Region 1 and 3 by the disgruntled “Vat Alles” group, whose contracts came to an end on 31 December 2017. This follows a spate of threats and attacks to the newly appointed “Gata le Nna” EPWP contract workers and city officials.
The DA-led government has from the start promised transparency in all city projects and will not be deterred by politically motivated disruptions to sabotage service delivery to the citizens of Tshwane.
In Region 1, a Waste Management Supervisor was assaulted by the previous Vat Alles EPWP group at Winterveldt. The group also threatened the newly recruited Gata le Nna EPWP workers with violence if they continue to report for duty.
In Region 3, trucks were stopped from transporting workers from Attridgeville and Lotus Gardens to the city by disgruntled Vat Alles group. This has subsequently affected service delivery in the CBD.
