Chairperson, thank you very much. I rise in terms of Rule 71. The Gauteng delegation supports the report and the recommendations that flow from it. From the submissions by the majority of stakeholders, it is evident that the Tshwane Municipality is non-functional. Consequently, the said local authority is unable to fulfil its obligations of delivering services required to the citizens of the city. The dissolution of the said local authority and the appointment of an administrator followed
by elections at the date to be determined by the IEC is in the public interest. I so submit. Thank you very much, Chairperson. [Applause.]
