COUNCIL VOWS TO CLOSE DILAPIDATED COURT TODAY

NHLANGANO - Shiselweni Magistrates Court has still not been renovated, 14 days after a notice from Nhlangano Town Council.

The Shiselweni Magistrates Court was declared a hazard by the town council as it is falling apart and also has dysfunctional restrooms.  
The building does not have water supply, something that was viewed as a risk for the spread of diseases, because the court is used by many people on a daily basis. The Nhlangano Town Council wrote a letter giving the court authorities a period of 14 days to make reparations to the broken toilets.
However, by yesterday, there had not been any action taken.
