Cape to be stripped of power?

By 6000 | 6000 | September 30, 2009

Seriaas? Seriaas. Minister of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs Sicelo Shiceka has warned the City of Cape Town and the Western Cape provincial government that they will be stripped of their powers if they fail to deliver basic services to poor residents soon.
