Makhura’s misconduct plunges Tshwane Metro in chaos
9 September 2020
The appointment of Mpho Nawa as Chief Administrator of the Tshwane Metro led to the unlawful approval of a budget that leaves thousands of Pretoria residents perplexed.
AfriForum has already served court papers to have the budget decision set aside, as well as to demand that a new process be started to approve a new budget.
Morné Mostert, Manager of Local Government Affairs at AfriForum, says that the Administrator’s decision violates the Constitution. According to Mostert, it seems that political interference from the office of David Makhura, Premier of Gauteng, may be responsible for the current chaos in the Metro.
“Makhura should have stepped in immediately to correct the situation; however, his political ties prevented him from doing so,” Mostert says.
