3.6.7 The Committee is of the view that the existence of administrators in municipalities should be a temporary solution. The Committee supports the idea of having administrators as temporary caretakers; transferring skills to the municipalities so that municipalities become self-sufficient and independent. Put differently, the Committee sees the role of an administrator as temporary aimed at helping, coaching, educating, mentoring and developing employees of a poor-performing municipality. The Committee emphasized that much of the success of an administrator is dependent on the cooperation between an administrator and officials working for that particular municipality.
