Madibeng-The Democratic Alliance is exasperated by the task teams’ inability to make any changes or inroads into the management of Madibeng. 

“It is more than a month ago that a task team was appointed by the then Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Richard Baloyi, and still are they unknown to most of the Officials, but shine in their absence on any progress reports” Democratic Alliance Tiaan Kotze said.

Kotze said the silence and seemingly no progress from the task team can be due to resistance from the Madibeng management. 

There are numerous complaints regarding accounts and clearance certificates not issued.

“The ruling party in Madibeng is scared of opening a can of worms by implementing the report of the task team that investigated the affairs of the municipality” DA said. 

The report contains far-reaching recommendations to inter alia prosecute senior municipal officials and take steps to counter corruption and maladministration in the municipality. 

“It was accepted by Council with the recommendation that another committee be appointed to investigate the issue and make further recommendations” DA said.

The committee’s investigation will be the sixth into the affairs of Madibeng and that none of the previous reports were acted on. DA said there is no reason for another committee and investigation as the recommendations and reports by competent bodies are clear and only need to be implemented.

The DA is ready to deliver clean governance in Madibeng as we are doing in the Tlokwe Municipality.
