Parliament, Tuesday, 13 March 2020 – The Select Committee on Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Water and Sanitation will today visit the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality to assess the conditions that led to the invocation of Section 139 (2)(a)(ii) of the Constitution by the Gauteng Provincial Government.
“Any municipality is empowered by the Constitution to undertake an executive obligation as set out in the Constitution. We have thus witnessed with dismay the activities within the City of Tshwane which had a direct impact on the delivery of services to the people of Tshwane. It is in this context that the committee saw it necessary to visit the city to ascertain the extent of the problems,” said Mr China Dodovu, the Chairperson of the committee.
At the centre of the oversight visit, the committee wants to ensure that the City of Tshwane is returned to normalcy and delivers services to the people of Tshwane.
