The cooperative governance minister said that the amendments came in response to the outcry for guidelines and rules that will govern and stabilise coalition governments.

CAPE TOWN - Stricter rules could be on the way to stabilise hung municipal councils and to limit the horse trading in search of positions.

These are among the amendments being proposed to the Local Government Municipal Structures Act, published by the cooperative governance minister this week. If a coalition collapses, and the mayor is removed, the rest of the executive - who are elected by proportional representation - will be unaffected.
