The mayor of the ailing Ditsobotla Local Municipality in North West has withdrawn her resignation following meetings between ANC and PA leaders. Her resignation had not been processed yet and the Speaker accepted her withdrawal.
Patriotic Alliance councillor Elizabeth Lethoko has withdrawn her resignation as mayor of the troubled Ditsobotla Local Municipality in North West.
“The Speaker has indicated that the letter was not yet processed, so the withdrawal is accepted and therefore the mayor of the PA will lead that municipality.”“Their president accepted our input and said they are also on board. The ANC will go to speak to Forum 4 Service Delivery. On Friday, all the coalition partners are meeting to map a way forward for the councillors.”
“We are wondering what has changed and what enticed them [the PA] to attempt to withdraw the resignation,” said F4SD National Working Committee member Thapelo Makgale. ANC North West spokesperson Tumelo Maruping said the party had not tabled any matter on the secondment. He said the Speaker of the council, Fikile Jakeni, simply read out a letter that the administrator would resume the role of acting municipal manager.Last year, the Ditsobotla Local Municipality was dissolved by Parliament, following massive non-compliance breaches and reports of maladministration.
