After several years that saw the community of Vuwani burning over 20 schools when they refused to be included into a newly established municipality, the Municipal Demarcation Board has now proposed to consider their demands.
The demarcation board last week published a circular with a list of proposed re-determination of municipal boundaries which included the Vuwani community in Limpopo, who are now under Collins Chabane local municipality, to be considered back to Makhado, the municipality they refused to leave.
Vuwani was exempted from receiving services after they resolved that they wanted nothing to do with Collins Chabane. Mulaudzi said they only participated in the Integrated Development Plan of the Collins Chabane municipality in the hope of getting municipal services.
Demarcation board spokesperson Barileng Dichabe said the legislative process had no consideration for “taking back” any areas and the board was embarking on a new process of municipal boundary re-determination.
