Deputy Speaker, I have a supplementary question. Hon Minister, what is the risk of evoking section 139 in all affected municipalities without diagnosing the underline challenges and specifically, how
long does it take the Provincial Executive Council, PEC, to determine whether to intervene and apply section 139? I thank you.
The MINISTER OF COOPERATIVE GOVERNANCE AND TRADITIONAL
AFFAIRS: I think section 139, is not a panacea for all ills in municipalities. You are correct, hon member that we need to do a proper diagnosis in each municipality and see, what are the problems, what is the mischief that needs to be fixed, before we just apply section 139. How long it takes for the PEC to decide, I don't know to be honest, some may take shorter and others may take long, I wouldn't hazard a guess on that. Thank you.
