JB Marks Municipality’s urgent bid to interdict North West govt struck off roll

This was ‘due to lack of urgency and the implication is that the administrator will proceed with his work and the municipality, if [it] so wishes, will proceed with the review application’.

News24 has seen a document from a law firm in Randburg, Johannesburg – dated September 2, 2019 – that is addressed to the provincial government and others, which details the intention “to challenge the unlawful terms of reference”. The municipality has gone head-to-head with the North West government since May 2019 over the implementation of a section 139 notice at the troubled municipality.

A letter seen by News24 from the office of the North West local government MEC to the JB Marks mayoral office, showed the initial decision was taken on May 2 and the mayor’s office was informed of the decision on May 6.
