Pretoria - The DA said on Monday MEC Lebogang Maile should face consequences after he rescinded his decision to suspend its councillors Katlego Mathebe and Vasco da Gama. The MEC in charge of local government in Gauteng Premier David Makhura’s provincial cabinet last week suspended former Joburg council speaker Da Gama for three months.
Mathebe, the incumbent Tshwane speaker, was slapped with a six-month suspension. Both suspensions were without pay. Maile accused the pair of breaching the Code of Conduct for Councillors as embedded in Schedule 1 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act. According to the Human Settlements, Urban Planning and Co-Operative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC, both councillors breached the code of conduct as contained in the Municipal Systems Act, Schedule 1.
