It was with great consternation that I heard this story recently. There are a couple of home owners having cottages built at Somerset Place since early last year. What I find appalling is the shoddy, rude and disrespectful manner in which the owners are treated by the contractors. There have been numerable
delays and excuses, but nobody takes the time or effort to inform the owners as to why.

There’s builder’s rubble littering the gardens and there has been no attempt to remove it. Some people are living on a building dump site. I might tell you these very same contractors are in church every week – how hypocritical! I wonder which God they are praying to, because the God I know would not treat people in such a despicable manner.

It all boils down to the way men treat women. They have no shame, but they (contractors) must remember they have wives, mothers and daughters and some day someone will hand out the same treatment to them.

Catch a wake-up guys. Do the ethical thing.

It’s the same with the Bishop of Grahamstown – embarking on a multi-million Rand building project that will only ever be used maybe three times a year. The fact that the building will need maintenance and care at a cost has not been considered?

Men and their egos. They need to ask themselves “What would Jesus do?”
