The City of Johannesburg is unhappy after the authorities came knocking at municipal manager Floyd Brink’s home amidst a legal dispute.
The City of Joburg has labeled the execution of the arrest warrant as an 'abuse of legal processes'.The sheriff was enforcing a contempt of court order in a legal case involving a resident whose services had been unlawfully disconnected.
“This attack on his person and character has now been orchestrated to embarrass and target him and his family and to create a public perception that the city manager is a suspect in a criminal matter.” “Equally, the city endeavours to resolve any rates and utility account disputes in an amicable, transparent and cooperative manner with the affected clients to avoid unnecessary and protracted litigation.
