Corruption Chickens Have Finally Come To Roost In Mopani District Municipality
Sello Lediga
ActionSA Limpopo Provincial Chairperson
It can only happen in the ANC that one tier of the same government will take another to court over matters they be able to negotiate internally as a ruling party.
In almost all the cases where we see the different levels of the same government pulling in different directions and exhibiting hostility towards each other, corruption is at the centre of the controversy.
The recent case of Mopani District Municipality taking the provincial government to court is a case in point. It is the ANC versus the ANC.
As ActionSA, we are disgusted rather than surprised that MEC Basikopo Makamu finds himself in an unenviable position of trying to put an ANC-run municipality under administration for its failure and corruption.
The governance failure and corruption of both the Mopani District Municipality and ANC government in Limpopo is legendary. Now the chickens have come home to roost, as Makamu tries to rein in his comrades in his region – a mouth-watering spectacle if there was one.
We wonder what the attitude of the absent Premier Stan Mathabatha is in this standoff between the municipality and COGHSTA. We hope that he will speak after a long time post-Nasrec leave to bring sanity to Limpopo and provide relief to communities who continue to suffer service delivery delays while these two elephants remain at loggerheads over corruption and maladministration.
