The municipality was recently dissolved, reportedly after failing to provide residents with basic services.Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee, Aaron Motswana says they also believe the decision was politically motivated.
Motswana says, “Before you can come to the level of implementing section 139, the constitution requires as a province that you had provided support to a particular municipality and such a municipality has not shown ability to rise from the problems that exists in those particular municipalities. This action of 139 1.C is punitive, it is being done to advance political scores and it is not intended to actually correct the situation at the municipality.
Ngesi says, “The executive council was of the view and the firm conviction that the council of that municipality had neglected their constitutional obligations completely and there was a complete collapse of service delivery in that municipality. Though we had already invoked section 139.1.B, but clearly things were not getting any better. Therefore there was a need for us to invoke 139.1.C. We are confident that we followed all the necessary constitutional requirements.
