Public Protector to visit Tongaat community

Public Protector Adv Thuli Madonsela will on Wednesday, 16 July 2014 visit a community of Hluhluwe in Tongaat, KwaZulu-Natal to give feedback on the complaints they lodged with her office in 2012.

The Public Protector last visited the area during an annual stakeholder consultative dialogue which focused on RDP housing and she was met with loads of complaints from community members.

Some of the complaints included an allegation that a local community member was allocated a toilet fitted with a geyser to live in instead of a house.

Other complaints related to quality of healthcare, roads infrastructure, electricity provision and police conduct in the area.

The Public Protector will be accompanied by a team of investigators from the KwaZulu-Natal office.

The event will take place as follows:
