Civil organisation Public Interest SA on Monday said it welcomed the signing into law of the Municipal Systems Amendment Act by President Cyril Ramaphosa.

CAPE TOWN -

The legislation will require MECs for local government to submit copies of blacklisted individuals to the minister. It also targets dismissed municipal officials who resign before their disciplinaries. Public Interest SA chair and founder Tebogo Khaas said: “We believe that this legislation and the amendment to the Municipal Systems Act, it’s very critical towards our fight against corruption, especially at a local government level. As you would imagine most of the corruption happens at a local level”.

Khaas said while they acknowledge these amendments as significant, they are disheartened by “the apparent kid gloves” with which municipal employees, who've been dismissed for corruption, are handled.

State officials now barred from party political office | CitypressState officials now barred from party political office | The new municipal law is targeted at preventing municipal managers and senior managers from holding senior position in political parties When are the lifestyle audits? Selbybok So, the thinking is that once MYANC cadres have been deployed to positions they do not qualify for, they will leave their political positions, that's it? No ways. They will simply be an invisible hand still meddling in the party's internal factional battles. So exactly which problem is the bill address. The issue is not holding political office, the problem is these positions are political appointment/so called cadre deployment. Holding pol office or not, these are appointed by thier political masters and thus dance to thier tune.
