Umdoni Municipality Mayor condemns theft of grader machine, impacting rural service delivery

Umdoni Municipality Mayor Mbali Cele-Luthuli has strongly condemned the theft of a municipal grader machine, hindering the municipality's efforts to enhance service delivery in rural areas. A municipal employee was allegedly assaulted during the theft.

The employee escaped with minor injuries and is recovering.

The municipality has opened a theft case at Umkomaas SAPS, expressing hope that the service delivery-oriented resource will be recovered and that the perpetrators will be apprehended and face the full might of the law.

Mayor Cele-Luthuli has strongly condemned these actions, stating that such criminal activity endangered an employee’s life and simultaneously hindered the municipality’s efforts to advance service delivery in rural communities.

“We are grateful that our employee’s life was spared in this traumatic ordeal and wish him a speedy recovery. We are, however, very disappointed that there are individuals who plot to rob the municipality to enrich themselves and disregard the benefits these grader services are bringing towards the development of the communities we serve,” Cele-Luthuli said.

The municipality has appealed to the Umdoni community for assistance in recovering the grader and bringing those responsible to justice.

The municipality urges anyone with information regarding this case to contact the investigating officer at Umkomaas SAPS on 082 334 9766 or 039 973 3103, or to come forward to the municipality directly. Any information that could assist the case would be valuable.

KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Paul Magwaza confirmed a case was opened at Umkomaas SAPS.

He said it is alleged that a Umdoni Municipality employee reported that he was driving a grader on a road in the eMahlongwe area when four males approached him and asked him to grade the driveway of their home.

“He agreed, and they pointed a firearm at him. He ran away, but they chased him, put him in the boot of the car and drove away. They dropped him at Mfume,” Magwaza said.

Speedsters arrested on N2 Park Rynie

The recent arrests of a lawyer and auditor for excessive speeding has sent a strong message to motorists to abide by the law.

The MEC for Transport and Human Settlements, Siboniso Duma, commended the Park Rynie Road Traffic Inspectorate team for the arrests last Saturday. He urged them to sustain the ‘Zero Tolerance, No Nonsense and Alufakwa campaign’ on roads.

As reported by the department, the lawyer was travelling from Umtata on the N2 at Park Rynie. He was arrested driving 222km/h in a 120km per hour zone.

“The accused failed to stop, and the RTI team chased after him and apprehended him,” said Ndabezinhle Sibiya, spokesperson for the MEC.

Police confirmed that the man was charged according to the National Road Traffic Act and released on bail of R3000.

Later that day, an auditor from Reservoir Hills was arrested for driving 177 km/h. This was on the N2 northbound near Ellingham.

Police confirmed that he was charged accordingly and released on bail of R1500.

Sibiya said that a third motorist was also arrested that day for driving 178km/h.

“These arrests send a clear message that nobody is above the law, however, we must hasten to point out that professionals such as the lawyer and auditor should know better,” said Duma.

“Speedsters and reckless drivers are causing so much suffering and socio-economic struggles for many individuals and their families. In our interaction with many families of victims of road crashes, we hear stories of job losses, disability and families being ripped apart.”

“In addition, reckless drivers are behind the vicious cycle of socio-economic problems and decline in the quality of family lives. As the department we affirm our commitment to ensure the safety of road users.”
