It seems an annual altercation with the landlord of Wet Nose is inevitable. Last year this time, an urgent High Court interdict was granted against him, forcing Grobler to restore the water supply to more than 200 Wet Nose animals including restricting Grobler from entering or interfering with the leased portion of Wet Nose and it’s staff etc- Grobler has on numerous occasions violated the interdict. (Access to the borehole water forms part of the lease agreement, payment of which has never been violated.) This time, Wet Nose has no power or water. As the phone lines operate on an electrical switchboard, no one is able to get through to the office. A tanker has had to deliver water to clean the kennels and provide drinking water for the animals. During January, the Municipality and Department of Labour advised Mr Grobler that he needed to supply them with an electrical compliance certificate for his entire property. Wet Nose subsequently obtained an electrical compliance certificate covering its rented portion of the property at a cost of R6000.00. It must be pointed out that this money could surely have been far better spent on medication and care of the abandoned and neglected animals it seeks to help. Yesterday, the Kungwini Municipality cut off the electrical supply to the entire property as it has allegedly not yet received the compliance certificate from Grobler. Mr. Christo Duvenhage from the Department of Labour confirmed that until Grobler hands in one electrical compliance certificate for his entire premises the power will not be restored. As Wet Nose is renting from Grobler, we are not responsible, the owner of the property is responsible for the COC. It would seem that another court appearance is inevitable as, yet again, the animals pay the price, while Grobler continues his terror attacks on the animals and staff. If you are a pet owner or animal lover, please help – every bit counts. Should you wish to assist Wet Nose, please contact 0827422522 or 0824461662 as presently these cell numbers are the only means of contact. If power is not restored we will be in need of a generator to assist and water tankers. We apologise for any inconvenience caused but Wet Nose and the staff are under immense pressure and doing their best to ensure that the animals are taken care off.
