hbc 3/1/11

Still have not received a letter of resignation from Lindelwa. So, she is officially fired from Transcape, as she has not performed to her action plan and hasn't officially resigned.
The forum meeting last month was disappointing. Mdumbi showed up on time, Philisa came 45 minutes late and Mngcibe came an hour and a half late and found the meeting finished already. Siyakhula didn't show up at all.
The three groups said they are working just fine w/o Lindelwa.
Gracie will be on leave from Jan 12th-Feb 16th. When she gets back, she will do a workshop w/ Philisa on the report forms at their request.
