Tshwane council | Capital city without a mayor - for now
Brink said,"we have to firstly focus with laser-like power on getting control on the finances of the city and responding to the negative findings of the AG. The DA as well as our multiparty coalition partners regard the findings as very serious." "It is indicative of a breakdown of controls, we now need to restore that and we need to have a clean out where a clean out is necessary but it's also very important that we focus on the service delivery aspects of the agenda, reduce the number of unscheduled power outages as well as the effect that load-shedding has on basic services, not just the state of the electricity network, but also sanitation, water and so forth and of course we have to look at the job of the Tshwane metro...
"So I think a laser-like focus on that agenda but also a willingness to cooperate with our coalition partners. I will be meeting them tomorrow morning, the leaders of the local coalition partners to also get their input and I'll certainly take their suggestions and comments on board."
