The Democratic Alliance has raised concerns over Gauteng Co-operative Governance MEC Lebogang Maile’s failure to take action against African National Congress and Economic Freedom Fighters members for walking out of several council meetings.

David Makhura says an administrator will be appointed to run the Tshwane Municipality until a new council is elected within 90 dayshas raised concerns over Gauteng Co-operative Governance MEC Lebogang Maile’s failure to take action against African National Congress and Economic Freedom Fighters members for walking out of several council meetings.

This follows Premier David Makhura’s announcement to dissolve the Tshwane Council. The decision came amid the City’s leadership crisis – following the resignation of DA Mayor, Stevens Mokgalapa, last month. The acting city manager, Makgorometje Makgata’s three-month contract has also ended. Makhura says an administrator will be appointed to run the Tshwane Municipality until a new council is elected within 90 days.

Gauteng DA leader, John Moodey says, “It didn’t come as a surprise to us. We realised what they were up to as early as the first meeting in December where they tried to get an illegitimate Speaker appointed and conduct that meeting.

“We will not bow down and be intimidated by the EFF or ANC and that is why we will be taking this matter of placing under administration of Tshwane to our legal advisors. We are already busy with it and seek senior council’s opinion and if we have a case. We will take this matter to court for review. If we do not have a case, we are prepared to go to a by-election because the people will have a say on which government they want,” adds Moodey.
