MEC’s high-handed approach in Tshwane shows disregard for the law
6 March 2020
The Democratic Alliance (DA) notes that Gauteng COGTA MEC, Lebogang Maile has called an urgent meeting with EXCO members, Group Heads and Divisional Heads at the City of Tshwane tomorrow.
The meeting has been called to discuss the way forward after Premier David Makhura and MEC Maile announced that the municipality has been placed under administration.
The DA would like to put on record that this municipality is not under administration as we have not yet received a letter stating that this decision has been taken.
MEC Maile’s meetings with staff are therefore premature, and he is trying to create the impression that the City is already under administration, when in fact it is not.
