Pretoria - The DA has hailed today's Gauteng High Court, Pretoria judgment, which upheld the April 29 ruling against the provincial executive council's decision to dissolve Tshwane council, as a victory.
The executive council under Premier David Makhura took the decision to disband the municipal council on March 4, but that was successfully challenged by the DA. Amid the legal drama, the DA invoked Section 18 by approaching the high court again in a bid to have the dissolution judgment enforced pending the appeal by other parties.
According to the court, the Constitution didn't provide for the extension of the administrator's period in office. In terms of the ruling all councillors are expected to resume duties with immediate effect and the City must reinstate their monthly salaries.The acting city manager Mavela Dlamini, who was appointed by the head administrator, would remain in charge of the metro's administrative affairs.
