Officials should 'hang their heads in shame' for failing citizens of Makana - judge

In dismissing the application for leave to appeal, judge Igna Stretch said the province and municipality “had egg on their faces” and should “hang their heads in shame” for the way they had failed the citizens of Makana, reportsStretch earlier this year ordered the provincial executive to dissolve the beleaguered Makana council “forthwith” and appoint an administrator until a new council was elected.

She said the municipality had consistently contravened the constitution by failing to sustainably provide services to the community or to structure and manage its administration, budget and planning process. She ordered the provincial executive to immediately impose a recovery plan aimed at securing the Makana municipality’s ability to meet its financial and service delivery obligations.

She suggested a recovery plan drafted after the previous provincial intervention in 2015 — which had never been implemented — could serve as the basis for a comprehensive recovery plan. The order followed a high court application by the Unemployed Peoples’ Movement , which maintained that the citizens of Makana had suffered long enough under a useless regime that had collapsed every aspect of governance.

Oh I love this judgment, been waiting for it!

pierredevos They aren't the only ones who should hang their heads in shame. Deeds Office staff should be at the top of the list, and the entire Madibeng Local Municipality. People are losing their jobs because government services are not being delivered.

.... had suffered long enough under a useless regime that had collapsed every aspect of governance.... fucking ANC CyrilRamaphosa are you shocked or still dreaming ?
