SAMWU UNRULINESS & VIOLENCE
The ACDP condemns the unruliness and violence that have taken place in the City centre on Monday and Tuesday during the Municipal Workers Union strike. This can result in the taxpayers having to foot the bill when it comes to claims against the Metro.
The reason for the strike gets fuzzy when unruly behaviour takes over and causes damages that may result in unnecessary claims....

APPROVED City of TSHWANE FIFA WORLD CUP COMPOSITE LOGOS
It is with regret that we notice that the name PRETORIA was added, very small, to the City of Tshwane 2010 Fifa World cup composite logo and not to the composite logos for local usage.

The City of Tshwane Spatial Development Strategy
