The delegation of the Committee had observed and noted the good progress made by the Department and cooperation demonstrated by the municipality. The intervention did not take executive obligation, and it did not involve the appointment of an Administrator. A Municipal Manager has been seconded and the intervention has only focused on key performance areas that are related to service delivery. Since the secondment of the Municipal Manager, Ditsobotla Local Municipality has made progress in terms of resuscitating the labour forums and proper financial management.
