The high court in Pretoria has overturned Gauteng Premier David Makhura’s decision to dissolve the Tshwane municipal council. Earlier this year, Makhura placed the City under administration for failing to carry out its constitutional obligations. An appeal process is underway, and the matter has been taken to the highest court in the land for clarity.
Dooms says coalitions are effective when you leave party politics aside, work together – even when inconvenient – and put all voters first, not only those who actually went to the polls. None of the parties have been able to do that.
“There has been no political maturity. [Parties] have not coalesced and they are acting impotent as if there’s no way for them to come together,” says Dooms. “For them to not be looking for some kind of solutions among themselves as to how to go forward so that the City can function again is a dereliction of duty.”
The ANC has now escalated matters to the Constitutional Court as it believes the Pretoria high court “erred in several respects”. On whether the coalition failed in Tshwane, Mbete says there is a broader question to be asked about our political culture.
Yes, thanks to the anc trying to steal Tshwane through the backdoor.
'.....the ANC is taking its campaign for power to the Constitutional Court'. That's exactly what ANC politics is about. Not governance or service delivery, but control of the levers of state. Amandla!!!
