Wildfire went wrong

Mpho Thobejane

Lydenburg people almost died because of a wildfire that was not
attended to, as one of the community members reported the incident
early on time. The municipality is not serious about pursuing its duty of
protecting the community. we are not surprised as they always
disappoint us, when they have to help the community instead they walk
like a tortoise. They use the equipment of the community for their
occasions of their own. This has been troubling the community from
years back until now and it’s getting worse as the wildfire took days
without being stopped.

The community has to report this problem in the form of complaints.
They all have to share some different ideas of what to do and how to
end these issues caused by the municipality so that they can employ
new responsible leaders and workers. Who will be able to handle their
snag, who will pursue their duty, who will do duties on time without
giving unnecessary reasons? The government is also needed to assist the
municipality as the community is tired and striking for safety as they
cannot take it anymore. The Thaba Chweu Local Municipality is
collapsing slowly due to problem-solving and the whole community is
affected so badly that they had to split the fire with baskets of water.
We need to strengthen our community members by, holding strong
meetings for us to gather together and teach one another how to be
productive, supportive, and protective of our people with energy when
it comes to work for the surrounding citizens therefore we will select
new leaders. Firstly we will need people who are willing to volunteer but
mostly must be youth as the rate of youths who are unemployed is very
high in our community and the cause of this is because most of our
youth are not participating in several cassis. Thus they still have more
energy to tackle any situation that comes their way.
To make sure that every time when the needs and wants of the
community are needed must be available. To make everything possible
for the community the municipality promised to achieve their job or I
can say they also have to make sure that backups are tight. Lastly, they
must attend emergencies on time to avoid a high amount of death
