The African National Congress
in the Western Cape said the Democratic Alliance is refusing to engage with
residents of Wynberg, concerning the proposed routes for phase two of MyCiti
roll-out.
Construction for phase two is
expected to commence within the next two months, with the two prioritised sites
being Stock Road in Philippi and Strandfontein Road in Ottery.
ANC’s Cameron Dugmore has
accused the DA of treating Wynberg residents with contempt. The City is
insisting on using South Road which would tear up a number of communities,
create division and a lot of stress amongst people even evicting some of the
there.
Dugmore said we believe that
the city owes that community a direct consultation, now they say that they must
attend a Constantia meeting or they must go to Claremont meeting, whereas in
fact this is the area, where most of the controversy arises because of the lack
of consultation.
“From the ANC’s side we are
saying the City must be prepared to face and engage the community of Wynebrg,
South Road in particular and set up an inclusive task team to explore all
possible alternatives” Dugmore added.
