“We are so used to people making promises and then they encounter problems and they come back and tell us we can’t do this because we’ve encountered this problem. I was in no mood to go back to people and tell them that I subsequently found out that there is no money in the municipality. I went out publicly, transparently I went to go raise money so that we can fix these things we have promised,” he said.
