The Provincial Executive Committee of the North West has resolved to place eight municipalities under mandatory intervention in line with Section 139 and of the constitution.

Section 139 of the constitution dictates that if a municipality as a result of its financial state is not able to execute its obligation to provide services, the relevant provincial executive must intervene. The intervention will then be in a form of providing a recovery plan aimed at securing the municipality’s ability to meet its obligations.
