3. Ityala lokuvalwa kwecuba laseMzantsi Afrika libuyela kwinkundla kwiveki ezayo Security and Social Services, J.P Smith, said it would cost the City almost R3 million to repair the hall. “The Department of Recreation and Parks is in the process of sourcing quotations from vendors who are skilled to repair the different components of work. “It is not possible at this stage to give a date of completion for the completion of the entire project,” he said. Smith encouraged the community to recognise that public facilities were there to serve their interests. “Communal facilities are for the benefit of all and when they are vandalised, it is the same community that is severely disadvantaged,” he stated. Mziwothando Ndabambi, from RR Section, lambasted those who damaged the facility. “When people are protesting for the right cause, there will always be those who are there for all the wrong reasons,” said Ndabambi. “Protest organisers need to guide the protest and ensure that nothing wrong is happening.” He described the vandalism of the hall as a loss for the community.
