nipotism

it is clear nd proven tht the so called Tulamela works 4 venda speaking people(shumela venda municipality) if we cn take a look on th employment department, 95@ of curently employed people r their relatives and if ur surname is chauke, no ways that you can get job papa. I wish i was a vend so tht i cn get a local job. Due 2 ths situation and many more, i can realy hardly say i got my freedom because at malamulele, we r highly oppressed than we use to be during apparthaid. Ettien

service delivery to malamuleloe residents from thulamela

i realy support u from this issue. i am one of the residents living in malamulele, we are facing big challenges as residents. if one need help from the municipality, he/she has to go to venda which worth above R50.00. they also exclude us in public participatikon, " last two month there was public participation in thohoyandou, but malamulele residente were not aware about that". in terms of service delivery, it is very much slowly, they are working for themselves but not us. in terms of water, a person has to stand in a queue for fetching water which may take him or her 4 hours, and they travel long distance pushing wheelbarrows and this can also lead to less success because if a child has to come from school and goes to fetch water which takes him or her the time of reading books it is bad. less employment opportunity for is granted to us. i dont think NELSON MANDELA AND the OTHERS was spending their life for what is happening to malamulele rfesidents. we are not having the freedom that they have have for because the opportunity for all is not happening to us. WE VOTE FOR ANC,but IT IS NOT PROVIDING THE SERVICE THAT IS ENTENDED TO DO.PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, RESCUE US FROM THIS THING. BY GIVING US OUR OWN MUNICIPALITY

ill treatment

I FOR ONE HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF KNOWING BOTH THIS PLACES, MALMULELE AND THOHOYANDOU. I'VE SEEN SO MANY VILLAGES AROUND THE THOHOYANDOU AREA DEVELOP MUCH FASTER THAN MALAMULELE HAS DONE IN ABOUT FIVE YEARS, I'VE SEEN MANY TSONGAS IN THE THULAMELA MUNICIPALITY MANAGEMNT BEING UNFAIRLY DISMISSED OR OFFERED TRANSFERS TO OTHER POSITIONS IN OTHER AREAS, THE "VENDAS" DONT MIND GIVING YOU HIGHER POSTS IN OTHER AREAS AS LONG AS THEY STILL GET TO DOMINATE IN THE MUNICIPALITY WITH THEIR SO CALLED NEWLY DEVELOPED FORUM, "RI DO SHUMELA VENDA' MEANING I WILL WORK FOR VENDA... WHERE DOES ALL THIS LEAVE THE OTHER LESS VENDA SPEAKING PEOPLE DOMINATED AREAS? WHAT HAPPENS TO MALAMULELE WITH OVER TWENTY VILLAGES SURROUNDING IT? THIS HAS BROUGHT ENOUGH PAIN TO THE RESIDENTS OF "MALAMULELE", WE WANT TO BREAK FREE FROM THE THULAMELA MUNICIPALITY.. EVEM SMALLER AREAS LIKE MUTALE HAVE THEIR OWN MUNICIPALITIES AND WHAT ABOUT MALAMULELE? AND WE STILL STAY WE ARE LIVING IN A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY, THIS IS SPITTING BACK IN THE FACES OF ALL FREEDOM FIGHTERS!

4rm ma own point of conception malamulele should get itz own minisipality y coz thulamela is failing 2 deliver a better service. 4 practical example we at NKAVELE VIL w dnt have a basic need so called water

Malamulele

we do need our own municipality

G.p makhubele

Plz plz provide us with municipality nd openly there is no hateret between tsonga nd venda culture but they failed to gave us service delivery ,so that it make us angry because thohoyandou is being growing but at malamulele there is nothing had to be done by this thulamela municipality

i just think people arround

i just think people arround malamulele has a good ideas which need highly support from other stakeholders so that they could get what they want, it is much important to have their own local municipality whict will be much responsible with development of this town ship. and i would like you to go on with your ideas

Thulamela municipality have high coruption in our local area at green farm we ar tired about to walk in the gravel roads ,so i think if the government could accept our concern an gave us our own municipality.

Malamulele, near Thohoyandou?

Writings like that "Malamulele, near Thohoyandou" are selling us short. What are you saying really? Malamulele can't be addressed only as Malamulele, Limpopo or Malamulele, South Africa? Malamulele is not a small town and the map should know that! The rest of the world can find Malamulele without even finding Thohoyandou first, trust me!

Mr PRESIDENT WE WANT OUR OWN MUNICIPALITY

yah i think as we are living on democratic country the government has to listen to the people concern. the governmence promised better life along with better service, mr president must consider our concern in peace. lets the development cover the whole country, we are tired of this corrupted THULAMELA MUNICIPALITY. I am encourage everybody under malamulele area to stand up and fight for our life, unity can lead us gain our better life, service delivery. and please i want the minicipality to support this issue. malamulele you will be free soon
Residents of Malamulele, near Thohoyandou, have marched to the offices of the Thulamela local municipality to demand that the town gets its own local municipality.

Malamulele South African Civic Organisation (SANCO) chairperson, Foster Mtshabi, has been quoted as saying "We want to break away from Thulamela and have our own municipality. We have the support of the Malamulele Sunrise Committee, which was formed to ensure better service delivery in the area."

Mtshabi, who criticises the Thulamela local municipality for developing Thohoyandou while neglecting Malamulele, said that the latter residents are tired of broken promises made by the municipality.
