The political instability in the municipality council sees councillors delaying on passing budget.
Tshwane is again faced with political instability, which has stalled the approval of an adjustment budget since February 23.While political instability in the City of Tshwane has delayed approval of an adjustment budget for a month, a political analyst says this would slow down some service delivery projects but not bring it to a complete standstill.
The adjustment budget highlights changes in the municipality’s financial plan and tariff increases on services such as refuse removal, wThe budget has not been passed due to the municipality being without a mayor after Dr Murunwa Makwarela resigned on March 10, after a scandal of submitting a fake insolvency certificate to the municipality.
Last week, TimesLIVE reported that a special council meeting to elect a new mayor collapsed after DA multiparty coalition members walked out of the chambers over disgruntlement with the council speaker. Political analyst professor Dirk Kotze told TimesLIVE, while service delivery to residents would not completely collapse due to the delays, some projects that needed additional money might be negatively affected.“This is not the total budget; this is the supplementary budget, and it is supposed to run until the end of June. It brings changes in specific areas where there is shortage or where the municipality needs to transfer money to other things on the budget.
