kdf chairperson ndithini tyhido said it was early days to draw something out of his leadership, adding that he did not trust plato. tyhido said anyone who wanted to talk about service delivery should do so in public, and not only address party members. “they are lying when they make such pronunciations to members of their party(and) not the greater public,” he said. he said the public needs to participate in talks regarding service delivery, so they can have an input because they are the ones who know what services they need. tyhido called on plato to consult community structures. sjc general secretary axolile notywala said the fact that plato addressed(only) his party members, showed that service delivery was not his priority. he further accused plato of campaigning for his party ahead of next year’s general elections. “the poor have never been a priority in the city of cape town,” he said. he said even the budget the city allocates for service delivery is not enough and therefore making promises without backing them up with money, they mean nothing.
