7.7 Provincial Department: The Acting Head of Department of Local Government and Traditional Affairs, Mr Themba Fosi, reported that both the Municipal Council and Organized Labour approached the Department about a request on invoking a section 139 intervention in the Municipality. However, although the Department instituted a section 106 investigation, the Municipal Council also appointed the Fivaz- Ramathe Commission of Enquiry to conduct an investigation. In the Department's opinion, this was very strange. In terms of the turnaround areas, the Administrator would look at the key areas of operation and maintenance, revenue and management, the Integrated Development Plan (IDP), governance and administration. The invoking of a section 139 intervention at Mafikeng Local Municipality was a necessary corrective measure, and was communicated properly with all the relevant stakeholders.
