Kruger Deteriorating Gravel Roads Crisis

[Richprins]

leachy reports that running generators in camps to combat loadshedding has resulted in staggering amounts of diesel being used. Croc Bridge used R2 million in a year for example. There is no diesel available therefore to grade gravel roads, which is why they are in such a poor state.

What is the saying....? "Always expect the unexpected"

Here is another reply, from Customer Care to Colleen Bowie:

These clowns(including govt) think by apologising everything will be 100%, always excuses, why was this procurement not done before the contract expired, always waiting till the last friking second

[Lisbeth]

First they say that it is lack of diesel and now it is a lack of machinery

They are not able to think ahead further than tomorrow. It's probably also the reason for the complete lack of maintenance all over the place.

Now it is a new tender again, so don't hold your breath.

For heaven's sake..... They know when a contract expires They are completely unable to manage the park

[Richprins]

Every tender in SA is time-consuming because a corrupt provider must be found and kickbacks arranged for the payer, Lis...

[Lisbeth]

That is not a secret for anyone who knows something about SA
