Speaker irregularly appoints acting municipal manager Speaker Ditshego Mbezi ignored the Municipal Systems Act and the council that is the only body allowed to make such appointments and reappointed Motlalekgomo Mmope during a council meeting on Friday. Mmopes contract ended on 5 July 2022. The Speaker of Madibeng took this critical decision away from the Council and made a decision that she was not legally entitled to make. We have already written a letter to the Speaker, informing her that she overstepped her authority and that any decisions made by Ms Mmope are illegal, said DA caucus leader in Madibeng, Jan van Rhyn. Following the recent Auditor General report and the concern about critical vacant senior management positions, Madibeng mayor, Douglas Maimane said the posts will be filled by the end of September. Two candidates were put forward for the municipal manager position to be decided on at the council meeting.The DA called for a division of the house and indicated that it would abstain from voting. The FF+ seconded the motion. With reference to article, examine, if the speakers decision was contrary to her duties and discuss the role of the political office bearers?.
