The DA in KwaDukuza can only conclude that the ANC does not take the business of Council seriously.
A Special Council Meeting was postponed at the last minute today, 22 June 2023. There was no explanation given.
Items on the agenda were important matters that needed to be deliberated on. It has been widely publicized that KwaDukuza Municipality received Disaster Funding to the value of R1.2 billion, with conditions that it must be spent within a certain timeframe.Items on the agenda were to assist with this implementation, and have been deferred already.
When the funding is returned to Treasury, the ANC must take responsibility, and answer to the people about the empty service delivery promises that have become their trademark.
The DA Whip, Privi Makhan has written to the Speaker (view here) to ascertain if applications for leave had been received which would affect the quorum of the meeting resulting in the cancellation, and which rule in the standing Rules of Order was applied to cancel this important meeting at the 11th hour.
