The DA welcomes the possibility that the impasse in the Tlokwe Municipality in Potchefstroom may come to an end on Monday.
The inability of the Tlokwe Council and its committees to meet was this morning discussed during a public hearing conducted by the NW SCOPA. The Tlokwe Speaker, Barei Segotso, in maintaining her intolerable (ANC) partisan position gave no indications that she is prepared to convene a Council meeting – this position may continue for as long as the ANC remains a minority party in the Council.
“One of the reasons for her reluctance to convene a Council meeting is an overdue motion of no-confidence in the Speaker which must serve at the first Council meeting” DA Chris Hattingh said.
DA said it is clear that Segotso puts personal and party interest before community interest underlining her inaptness for the important position of Speaker.
“The DA will do everything in its power to restore stability and respect in the Tlokwe Municipality” Hattingh concludes.
