The Municipal Manager indicated that he did not fully support the intervention as issued by the MEC of Local Government and Housing. He indicated that some of the problems identified in the notice of intervention emerged as the result of lack of funding and suitable human resources. Some of the concerns raised by the Municipal Manager related to understaffing of Local Economic Development Unit, Finance and Corporate Unit and other departments, non existence of Internal Audit Committee, lack of experience by some of the Section 57 Managers, lack of proper qualification among certain employees, political interference in administrative operations, lack of proper financial control due to lack of qualified personnel.
