“GET rid of your corrupt fieldworkers or close down the offices,” was an ultimatum served to Benchmark for Knowledge and Services by angry demonstrators in Site C last week.
Benchmark for Knowledge and Services (BKS) is a service provider hired by the City of Cape Town to facilitate the processing of tittle deeds in Site C.
The city is running a programme of dedensifying Site C because of double occupation.
The idea is to come up with a general plan of the area.
This means out of two double occuppied sites one person or family will have to leave Site C.
Other families have been relocated to Mandela Park and Kuyasa.
Wiseman Ntloko Sanco, secretary in Site C, said three fieldworkers whose names are known to City Vision are accused of corruption.
He said BKS must take a decision about those three fieldworkers or must close down their offices and leave Site C.
“We don’t need you here. You must go, or we are closing down your offices. We are sick and tired of this.”
“The ultimatum we are giving this office is: help the community or close down.”
Ntloko said their primary grievances were about the three fieldworkers accused of corruption and who are working for BKS.
People come to BKS offices to complete their application forms for houses and tittle deeds.
These forms are then sent to the housing board for approval.
The forms are then approved and the fieldworkers are then sent to that particular or qualified person to hand over the housing keys and that he/she must sign for his new house.
Instead the fieldworkers are alledged to taking those keys and giving them to their relatives and friends and are even selling them at a price.
Ntloko said according to the procedure when that person received her/his keys his name is punched into the computer and registered.
He/she is in return expected to demolished the present shack and move to the new house.
These people become victims of law enforcement who arrive without notice and demolish their shacks.
Ntloko said these people become victims because they never received their housing keys… - City Vision
