Residents of the Lichtenburg-based Ditsobotla Local Municipality in the North West have welcomed the decision of the North West government to dissolve its council.

The council was disbanded last week following the announcement by the provincial department of Human Settlement, Cooperative Government and Traditional Affairs that the Ditsobotla council was dysfunctional and failed to execute its constitutional obligation.

Consequently, its equitable shares were withheld by Treasury. This has also affected workers, who have not been paid for two months. Last week’s apparent hostage of municipal officials, councillors and African National Congress officials by workers at the municipality has done nothing to expedite the payment of workers. In all this, residents are feeling the brunt, as they do not get services. Some residents support the dissolution of the council.

“These people they are doing nothing for us from eight years back unfortunately there was a budget for extension 4 but there is nothing happening,” another resident says. Tsholofelo Mathibedi, spokesperson for the provincial department of Human Settlement, Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs says the municipality was unwilling to receive help.
