The Western Cape does not approve this intervention due to constitutional processes and procedures that were not followed for years.
Evidently to the records of provincial section 193 interventions, there is no legislation or institutional improvement in this action since there is no enforcement of the Municipal Finance Management Act, MFMA, section 32 transgressions or application of any form of consequential management.
In terms of section 152 of the Constitution, JB Marks Municipality did not comply with its constitutional obligations.
The North West Provincial Government and the Department of Co- operative Governance and Traditional Affairs did not comply with the constitutional section 154 in their failure by legislative and other matters in their oversight capacities to support this municipality.
Interventions within the political composition of a municipality will not ensure sound financial management.
The financial mismanagement, fraud and corrupt activities, cadre deployment of unskilled employees will remain the status quo of management causing collapse of municipalities. Therefore, the NCOP cannot be used to rubberstamp for the sake of compliance when there is an increase in irregular, unauthorised and wasteful expenditures of billions of rands. Therefore, the Western Cape will not support this intervention.
