MEDIA VERKLARING
CORNWALL HILL LANDGOED SLAGOFFER VAN MAGS MISBRUIK?
Die
ACDP verneem dat tydens 'n intiatief van die burgemeester om aan die
publiek te wys dat die Metro wanbetalers vastrek is Cornwall Hill
Landgoed se water is vanoggend afgesny terwyl amptenare vergesel is van
3 Metro Polisie.
Waarom sou die amptenare dan nou vergesel word met sirens en Metro Polisie om water te gaan afsny is die groot vraag hier?
Hoekom sou 'n amptenaar wan die Tshwane Metro dan in Mev Brawley se kantoor ingaan met 3 lyfwagte?
Sulke gedrag was interorom en totaal onaanvaarbaar.
AnneMarie
Sparg woordvoerder van die ACDP Tshwane Metro se dat hulle van plan is
die saak by die Openbare Beskermer aan te gee omdat dit blyk dat
Cornwall Hill 'n slagoffer van magsmisbruik is.
Cornwall
Hill Landgoed se bestuur het alreeds regs advies ingewin omdat die
rekening blykbaar vir 4 of 5 jaar jaar lank nie aan hulle gestuur is
nie.
Nou na 4 of 5 jaar, kom die Metro amptenare vergesel van
die Metro Polisie om summier die water af tesny, terwyl onderhandelinge
aangaande die saak nog aan die gang was. So 'n aksie blyk nie reg
te wees nie, aangesien Cornwall Hill Landgoed se bestuur nog besig is
met onderhandelinge met die Metro.

MEDIA RELEASE
CORNWALL HILL COUNTRY ESTATE VICTIM OF POWER ABUSE?
It
is with great concern that the ACDP took note of the manner in which
the Metro Officials handled a water cut off situation in Centurion
today. This morning officials arrived accompanied by 3 Metro Police to
cut off the water supply of the offices of Cornwall Hill Country
Estate, while the account is in the process of being sorted out.
The management meeting was interrupted with the unannounced arrival of the official and his body guards.
The big question is, why bring armed Metro Police?
Why make a noise with sirens on police vehicles.
This type of behaviour is in terrorem and not acceptable.
Apparently the Estate was not aware of this account as it never received such an account for 4 or 5 years.
As
this matter is still in the process of being sorted out, we find it
irregular that such a display of power is being used to intimidate
clients.
The ACDP will investigate this matter and take it to the Public Prosecutor for investigation.
