Last month, the DA successfully challenged a decision by the Gauteng government, with the backing of the National Council of Provinces, to place the capital city under administration and completely dissolve its council. The DA said it will oppose applications for direct access to the Constitutional Court this week over the matter brought by both the ANC and the EFF.“The courts must not reward the ANC’s strategy of ungovernability in the places where it has lost control, the courts must not reward the EFF’s politics of chaos,” said Moriarty.
On Thursday, Gauteng MEC for human settlements, urban planning and cooperative governance Lebogang Maile announced the province had decided to approach the Constitutional Court to challenge the ruling.
