Pretoria - The DA is forging ahead with the election of a new mayor in Tshwane despite the fact that council has been dissolved and the metro placed under administration.
“It is not an act of defiance because they still have a 14-day breather and if they want to use it effectively then there is no problem,” he said. As part of the procedure to disband council, Maile wrote letters to Minister Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma and the National Council of Provinces to inform them about his decision.
He didn’t want to comment on whether the sitting had received the ANC’s blessings. “Well, I am not speaking on behalf of the ANC. I am sure they will answer for themselves. I am speaking on behalf of the government,” he said.He said: “Council has been dissolved. In which capacity will we be attending? The premier made an announcement and so we respected and accepted it. We can’t accept an announcement and then we go to council.
He said the meeting with senior managers was meant to analyse some of the weaknesses that required attention in the City.
