MEC slated for "cut-and-paste" job

Both Eastern Cape Local Government and Traditional Affairs MEC Thoko Xasa and the department’s superintendent-general Sindisile Maclean signed the Consolidated Municipal Performance Report for 2005/06, the Bhisho Legislature was told today.

The report, tabled today, has been described by the committee on Local Government as an “embarrassing cut and paste job”.

Replying to questions, Xasa said her department was looking at what steps it could take to rectify the situation and was investigating through a service provider how “to come up with a proper report” adding that it was hoped this could be provided within 30 days as demanded by the committee and it would be “better”.

She acknowledged that what “an official” had done was a “cut and paste job” and was an “embarrassment” to the department.

It's amazing that no one will finally be held responsible for this. Probably none of the signatories to the document even bothered to read the thing.
