Rubbish Truck still broken....!

Well some of you might have noticed that your refuse is being removed late.... this is due to the rubbish truck being in the garage . I spoke to the driver, Caprito today, asking him what had happened to his company car.... he looked at the ground, shook his head and muttered something about the gearbox being stripped...... it was not his fault, he stammered..... he was on leave top Ovamboland..... the stand in guy did..... it........ the towns refuse is now being removed by a bakkie hauling a giant metal cage behind it..... off course with the current east wind this is an open invitation for the town to be covered in plastic papers......

Now the question begs to be asked, what on earth happened to the 2nd lorry that used to be in town, the big white one......... 2 years ago, I heard it got transferred to the mine?

Anyone know anything?

Aren't we lucky... South African municipal workers are wacking away at their strike for a 15% pay increase, not happy with the 10% they were offered. Have you seen the streets of JHB on the news, man what a mess!

Mike, in response to your original note at the top. I'm not suprised the truck got wrecked, Mel was picking up Ethan from daycare the week before and that truck came flying down the dirt road behind her, hitting the hooter as he did to get her out the way, she recons he was driving it like a race car....

Michael Alexander · July 31, 2009, 01:25:09 PM

That could not have been the normal driver, Caprito was on leave at that time....

Andrew Darné · July 31, 2009, 02:35:56 PM

So Caprito's words are varified... the stand in guy did it...! oooh!!
