The Pretoria High Court has ordered the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality to invest R18 million towards an area plan which will include the maintenance of the Tshwane Fresh Produce Market, after it faced a period of neglect and lack of upkeep. The judgment, handed down this week, was made in a case launched by the Institute of Market Agents of South Africa , which took issue with the ‘dysfunctional’ state of South Africa’s second largest fresh produce market.

It was also ordered to include financial management and quality management plans and details on how it plans to execute on those plans. The municipality will be required to use R10 million on capital expenditure and R8 million on operational expenditures, Imasa chairman Gjalt Hooghiemstra and Agri SA CEO Christo van der Rheede, said in a joint statement on Thursday. It was also ordered to pay Imasa’s costs for the court application.

CityTshwane NtandoThukwana How embarrassing that courts are now forcing municipalities to do the upkeep. Outsource the management on a long term lease since municipality is broke. It's farmers who are going to suffer, because of poor management,whilst politicians are hustling 4 power.
