MOTALA Heights families who lost their homes and all they owned in a fire a fortnight ago have still not had any assistance from the municipality.

And the councillor of Ward 15, Derek Dimba, denied having any knowledge of the fire and showed little concern for the families affected.

The councillor responded by saying, "I do not account to you, (referring to the paper), if you are bored and have nothing to do, don't call me."

He continued: "I live in Mpola and it's far. If they don't call I cannot throw bones to find out what is happening in the community."
