Primrose complex caretaker Johan le Roux has had endless battles with the metro.<\/p>\n
\u201cI applied for and received two skips from the metro 10 years ago,\u201d he explained.<\/p>
\u201cAt the beginning of this year, I realised that the one skip was not used and that I was, therefore, no longer in need of two, and that I had to arrange for one to be collected.<\/p>\n
\u201cI went to the metro offices three months ago, but, after five visits and two letters that I, personally, delivered to the offices, on request, the skip remained uncollected.<\/p>
\u201cI have been sent from pillar to post without any progress and, all the while, I have been paying for the skip that was not in use.<\/p>\n
The GCN sent a query to the metro regarding the delay in the collection of the container.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe matter has been attended to, except that the charges have not been amended as advised,\u201d said the metro\u2019s spokesman, Themba Gadebe.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe complex has two containers and they are paying for 19 units.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne container has been removed as the complainant requested in writing, but the charge has not been amended as was also requested from the finance department.\u201d<\/p>\n
Le Roux confirmed that one of the skips was collected.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey did come and collect it; I am grateful that it finally happened,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was just disappointed at how long it took to have it removed; I honestly think this matter could have been resolved in less than three months.\u201d<\/p>\n
