The national treasury has ordered the Mangaung municipality to dissolve its Mmetro police service and to institute disciplinary procedures against officials who played a role in establishing the law enforcement agency.

The letter was written to city manager Sello More, Free State premier Sisi Ntombela, Free State MEC for finance Gadija Brown and newly appointed Free State Cogta MEC Mxolisi Dukwana. Ngqaleni said the National Treasury had cautioned the city to manage its expenditure and prioritise basic service delivery of water, sanitation and waste management over the years.

Ngqaleni revealed that Deputy President David Mabuza, in his capacity as the leader of government business in parliament, gave the instruction that “all activities associated with the metro police service must be stopped with immediate effect”. Ngqaleni said the letter served to compel More, as the accounting officer of the metro, to provide treasury with all memorandums served at council that formed the basis for the decision to establish the metro police.

More was advised to address council to rescind the ill-advised decision immediately and advise the national treasury of the position of the metro within the next 14 days.

TreasuryRSA often uses measured tones when addressing its Intergovernmental peers. Not this time. The 'national cake connoisseurs' read the proverbial riot act to Mangaung metro. Message was clear, 'you are broke and you can't afford s****. And we want names y'all'!
