Hon House Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes the State of Local Government Finances and Financial Management report released by the National Treasury last week;
2) also notes the report analysed the 4th quarter of the 2017-18 financial year, found the DA-led Drakenstein Municipality to be the most financially healthy municipality in the country;
3) further notes that the DA-led municipality of George tied in third, while the then DA-led Nelson Mandela Bay municipality tied in 5th place;
4) acknowledges that it is only where the DA governs that municipalities function and effectively provide service delivery to the residents;
5) be aware that this report is an indictment on the DA's successful ability to lead with transparency and accountability.
I so move.
