Hon Chairperson, hon members, Ramotshere Moiloa Local Municipality in the North West, is one of the eight municipalities in the Province under section 139 (1b) constitutional intervention. The increase number of municipalities necessitating immediate rescue operation, due to collapse of systems internal to municipality is worrying. It is a serious cause for concern. In most municipalities under intervention the root cause is non performance, non compliance and lack of oversight. Refusal to embrace and officiate the essence of reporting and accountability. Internal municipality instability due to councillors fighting among themselves, in the wake of this turmoil. Senior management is forced and expected to favour particular internal factions in the fight for
tenders and neglect of service delivery. The very purpose of local government while senior management is paid their salaries without fail.
Work is not done and there are no consequences. Local municipal political instability continues to affect service delivery and the deteriorating state of these dysfunctions, push the government to take the remedial majors to bring about a conducive local government environment that will enable beneficial local communities to have access to service delivery. This is the constitutional obligation, municipal leadership. I am tempted to do as hon member mentioned, because I got the report here.
