Illegally appointed Tshwane administrators a law unto themselves
31 May 2020
The Democratic Alliance (DA) is concerned that residents of Tshwane have no one to call when experiencing service delivery issues within their communities. They have no direct access to the African National Congress (ANC’s) unlawfully deployed team of administrators when electricity outages or water cuts need to be escalated.
The deployment of these administrators to the City of Tshwane continues to undermine the electoral choices that were made by the residents in 2016.
They have not been elected by residents of Tshwane. They are illegally imposed with no identified unfulfilled obligations that they need to attend to as specified by the constitution.
What is of more concern is that the administrators are making decisions now that could bind the city into future contracts and positions, all while they operate on an unelected mandate. They are imposing lasting consequences on the management of the city.
