Clarification

AN inadvertent error crept into yesterday’s article ‘Coastal councils see red over RED’.

Paul Rooi of the Swakop Town Council’s Management Committee said that the Council enjoyed a 21 per cent growth a year in surpluses generated until the 2004-2005 financial year, while it was still responsible for the distribution of electricity. Since the establishment of the RED, which took over the distribution, the surplus had decreased by nearly 50 per cent in the 2007-2008 financial year.The wording appeared to imply that the Town Council is still responsible for electricity distribution, which is not the case.Since the establishment of the RED, which took over the distribution, the surplus had decreased by nearly 50 per cent in the 2007-2008 financial year.The wording appeared to imply that the Town Council is still responsible for electricity distribution, which is not the case.
