Elected councillors remain out of office, says DA in battle for TshwaneCouncil
The DA is back in court in an attempt to immediately enforce the recent High Court in Pretoria judgment which declared the dissolution of the Tshwane council unlawful.
Elaborating that its request to immediately implement the ruling the party highlighted Section 159 which states that if a municipal council has dissolved an election must be held within 90 days of the date on which that council was dissolved.“Citizens of Tshwane have a fundamental constitutional right to be governed by those they elected – not an unelected administrator.”
The matter satisfies the exceptional circumstances as per Section 18, according to the party, which maintains the elected councillors of Tshwane will continue to remain out of office while Tshwane continues to be controlled by an unelected administrator.
