GRAYS INN ROAD: SHODDY
WORKMANSHIP TO BE
RECTIFIED









More than two years after a repair job on a
washaway in Grays Inn Rd (some 50 metres
below the Glenardle Rd intersection) was
very poorly carried out, Metro Roads Dept
official Ravi Hurbuns has agreed to a
request by Bluff ward councillor Duncan Du
Bois that action be taken to rectify it.
















' Following the June 18 downpour, new
cracks have appeared in what passes for
the paving ,' says Cllr Du Bois.
' The original repair job looks as though it
was carried out by amateurs. The sinkhole
was not properly filled and secured.
Instead a layer of tar was crudely slapped
over a bed of loose stones and sand. No
attempt was made to raise the level of the
camber of the left lane
and the pavement was left uneven and
coarse. Many ratepayers have expressed
outrage at the shoddy workmanship carried
out.'

' It's just another example of work being
provided on the basis of ideology instead of
competence. Now that job has to be
repeated at a further
cost to the ratepayers. It is also an
indictment of senior management
supervison. The original contractors should
never have been allowed to
leave the site until the job was properly
done,' said Cllr Du Bois.

WHO DOES WILY WILLY GOVENDER
THINK HE IS FOOLING ?

Despite insisting  that his connections with
ANC officials in eThekwini Municipality have
nothing to do with politics, one wonders who
the wily boss of eValuations, Willy Govender,
thinks he is fooling (The Mercury, July 9).

What your reporter Matthew Savides fails to
point out is that Willy Govender is not
a property valuer. He is an IT consultant.
This raises the question as to how he landed
a multimillion Rand contract to conduct the
largest property survey in Durban's history
when he is not qualified  in that field.

Nobody who does business with this Metro
should pretend that he is just doing it ' to
grow and develop eThekwini' and that he
does it  all of his ' own accord,' as Govender
claims. Such codswallop has the same ring
of credibility as his claim that his contracts
with other  municipalities proves that his '
alleged connections with eThekwini
Municipality counted for naught.'
