“When we are at meetings they (DWA) give us the date
for the next meeting. The notification is affecting those in
the townships because if you don’t come to meetings you
will not know when the next meeting will come on because
they (DWA) don’t announce it on the radio and it doesn’t
come to the news papers”
“They (DWA) use to inform me through the phone. They
(DWA) do tell us the objective of the meeting but the
problem is the time because sometime the just phone you
today (Monday) and the meeting is on Wednesday so
there is no time to prepare”
“Sometimes a week to the meeting and sometimes they
(DWAF) phone me maybe on Monday and say there is a
meeting and I just go. Sometimes if I meet somebody I
know the person will tell me there is a meeting they did
not tell you and the person will say we must go”
“They (DWA) write to me to attend meetings and also got
a call from Cape Town that there will be a workshop so I
must be there. They (DWA) sometimes give us agenda but
sometimes they don’t especially when they phone”
