The Fetakgomo Ward 2 Councillor, KlaasDiphofa is now known as a body parts snatcherby community members. It is alleged that thecouncillor, delivered a body with some of itsparts missing at Mphanama Community Clinicon Sunday 5 June. However, the police deniedthat something of that nature happened.It is alleged by community members that thecouncillor claimed he picked up the deceased

Ward councillor accused of mutilationmale on the road in Mphanama Village near JaneFurse on Sunday afternoon.“He delivered the body in the name of first aidwhen the nurses realized that the person is deadand some body parts including brain and pri-vate parts were missing,” said a communitymember who doesn’t want to be named.He said even though the police were called bythe nurses, the councillor was not arrested and

no further questioning was made by the policeto him. He said the councillor was claiming thathe picked up the man thinking that he caughtcold and rushed him to the clinic for treatment.“He was taken by the police to show them theexact place where he picked up the body and heshowed them three different locations. Stillthey did not arrest him. The community thinksthis is politically motivated as the councillor isa returning candidate for ANC,” he said.He added that they are suspicions that thepolice are covering up the suspects.“The police have to be investigated too as theyknow exactly about the incident but failed to act

against the councillor. There is foul play in thepolice station,” he said. Regional Police Com-mander Warrant Officer Rasidibe told the Dis-patch that the allegations were not true.“I was having a radio interview yesterday andtold them that there is nothing like that. This isjust a make up story. Go and ask the person whotold you about the issue where did he get it fromas we as the police do not know anything aboutit and we do not have such a case in the station,”he said.When the Dispatch contacted Diphofa for acomment, his cellphone rang unanswered. Laterthat day, it was on voice mail.

An elderly resident in Ngwalemong Village,Magomoletse Mamakoko (53),Ephraim MogaleWard 12 is living in a one room uninhabitableshack while a councillor’s friend has aban-doned a RDP house to live in town. Residentsclaim ward Councillor George Phala, has givenhis friend a RDP house in 2013 while there areresidents who are still in vain waiting for housesin the village. Mogomoletse Mamakoko’s shackis a few meters away from the house that was,according to the community, allocated to wrongbeneficiaries.

Poor residents cryover RDP houses

A community leader,December Mokomanealleged that the housewas occupied by thecouncillor’s friend forjust a week and left.He said they havebeen pleading to thecouncillor to assist theMamakoko family buthe failed.“We suggested thatthey at least occupythe house becausenobody stayed therefor years and he prom-ised to address theplight of the family tothe municipality andnothing was done,” hesaid.He said the pensionerapplied unsuccess-fully for a house and isstill in vain waiting forthe government’spositive response. Hesaid the community is

aware that Coghsta allocated a budget to build400 houses in Ephraim Mogale Local Munici-pality. “Up to so far we know that only onehouse was given to a resident in the municipal-ity. We are worried that the other houses couldbe sold or given to unqualified friends andfamilies of people working in the municipality.People like the Mamakoko family will not ben-efit as houses are occupied by people who arepolitically connected to officials and council-lors,” he said.“Some elderly are desperately looking for thehouses while on the other side the governmentignores their plight. Houses are occupied bynon-beneficiaries around here,” he said.Mogomoletse Mamakoko told the Dispatchthat she lives with her six children in a one roomshack that is in a dire to collapse. “I was prom-ised a house when I arrive in the village in 2012.I applied several times without any success,”she said.She said she reported her matter to the socialworkers who visited last year to check on herliving condition and promised to come andassist but vanished since. “She took my docu-ments along with copies of my children’s birthcertificate and promised to come back but shedidn’t. We lost hope and no longer believe thatwe will end up having a descent house like otherresidents,” she said. Ephraim Mogale Commu-nications Manager, Jan Phasha said the con-cerned community members must come to theInfrastructure Department and will get clearanswers about matters regarding the RDPhouses. “Residents who are experiencing aproblem concerning RDP houses are also wel-come to contact 013 261 8400 and ask for theInfrastructure Department and will be clarifiedabout allocation of houses in the municipality,”he said.

He saidthis is not the first time he has been attacked bypeople who claim that they are ANC members.“When the argument started to be hot, thefailed assassination became the main topic.The man said he was told that I shot myself toscore the public’s political points and mediaattention. How can I plan for about 13 shots tobe fired against me where the police discoveredthat some shots hit the shelves and the car. Itold him that his claims are ridiculous,” he said.Mogotji said he wants to see his attackersbehind bars because he does not feel safeanymore. “I want that man to be traced andinterrogated because it is obvious that he has
