Note to Editors: Please find attached English and Sesotho soundbites by Cllr Stone Makhema
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Fezile Dabi district municipality is pleased to confirm the defeat of two no-confidence motions against the DA Mayor and Speaker, submitted by the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) on 30 September 2024.
The motions, deemed poorly prepared and baseless, accused the Mayor of improper procedures in appointing the Municipal Manager, despite the appointment following all legislative requirements.
Both the Head of Department (HOD) for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) and the Auditor-General (AG) recently reviewed and cleared the matter, presenting their findings to council on 28 October. At this session, the EFF chose to walk out.
The EFF distraction has thankfully been brought to an end, and the business of DA governance goes on.
The DA thanks all parties involved in maintaining stability and progress in Fezile Dabi district municipality.
