ActionSA welcomes the action taken by our Tshwane Mayor, Dr Nasiphi Moya, to remove Kholofelo Morodi as a Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) with immediate effect, following the revelations arising from the Madlanga Commission last week.
Following serious allegations implicating Morodi, within a matter of hours Dr Moya had suspended her as an MMC, and ActionSA’s Provincial Executive Committee had followed suit pending a disciplinary investigation. Further to Dr Moya’s termination of Morodi today, ActionSA’s Gauteng PEC will consider the question of her membership at a meeting this evening.
This kind of action, from both our Mayor in the City of Tshwane and our party structures within a single week, demonstrates that ActionSA is committed to fighting corruption and wrongdoing through its actions, and not merely its words.
ActionSA apologises unreservedly to the residents of Tshwane for what, in hindsight, was an error of judgement, even though there was no way of knowing Morodi’s intentions at the time. Ultimately, any organisation can only be judged on how it responds to evidence of wrongdoing and it is clear from our immediate actions that ActionSA has set the standard in this regard.
Yesterday’s draft budget tabled in the City of Tshwane Council was another major step in the right direction to driving service delivery and shutting down the space for tenderpreneurs and water tanker mafias. The budget reflects a 79% reduction in water tankers and a R475 million reduction in security contract costs, the effect of which is both to close down the space for tenderpreneurs and to redirect these funds towards water pipe replacement and the procurement of the city’s own water tanks.
Importantly, the budget tabled yesterday for public consultation sees a 25% year-on-year increase for the capital budget of the city over the next two consecutive years, driving the ability of the city to respond to the long-term neglect of its critical service delivery infrastructure.
ActionSA takes note of an opposition that appears to be becoming more and more desperate in their spasms of irrelevance. A concerted misinformation campaign has attempted to malign Dr Moya’s leadership based on the revelations of the Madlanga Commission. It has now been revealed that the tenders in question were all awarded under the tenure of DA Mayors, and not Dr Moya. However, like a dodgy 2nd hand car salesman, Cilliers Brink simply slithers off when confronted with facts only to emerge with another false claim.
ActionSA continues to show South Africans that strong and effective leadership that fixes their municipality is possible if they can stop voting for parties that break municipalities and only develop morals in opposition.
