Chairperson and the House, once again the report will cover the two municipalities at the same time. The Select Committee on Co- operative Governance undertook an oversight visit to Mkhondo Local Municipality and Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality in North West and Mpumalanga respectively on the 12th and 13th of November.
This was based on the resolution of the provincial executive council of the respective provinces to intervene in the affairs of the two municipalities in terms of section 139(1)(b) of the Constitution. If a municipality cannot or does not fulfil its executive obligation, in terms of the Constitution and legislation, the relevant provincial executive may intervene by taking appropriate steps to ensure the fulfilment of that obligation, including assuming responsibility of the relevant obligation.
