The capital city recently introduced new regulations for its waste removal contractors.
JOHANNESBURG - Tshwane executive mayor, Cilliers Brink, said that the African National Congress 's motion of no confidence in him was a fight against the city strengthening its tender systems.It said that waste trucks could not be older than nine years, must have tracking devices and be road-compliant.
The regulations have led to the city dropping about 60% of its former contractors who do not meet the new requirements."Those performance standards threaten ANC-linked businesses. The city’s financial position has improved in the past year, service delivery has improved, this been recognised by the AG , by ratings agencies, we're making progress on fixing the long-standing issue of Rooiwal and I think it's clear this is opportunism.
The DA-led coalition in Tshwane has a majority of seats with 108 versus 105 of the ANC-led coalition. There was an instant in the past where councillors in the DA-led coalition broke rank and voted with the ANC.
