Die drama oor die volgehoue skorsing van Thapelo Matlala, stadsbestuurder van die Sol Plaatje-munisipaliteit in Kimberley, sal Donderdag 29 Januarie in die hooggeregshof in die stad op die spits gedryf word. Sy aansoek vir \u2019n verklarende bevel om na sy kantoor terug te keer, sal dan aangehoor word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matlala is in September geskors hangende \u0149 ondersoek na bewerings van korrupsie en ander ongerymdhede. Sy skorsing het in Desember verval sonder dat \u0149 tugverhoor gehou is. Hy wou op 5 Januarie weer begin werk. Sy kantoordeurslotte is egter verander en hy kon nie sy kantoor betree nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy aansoek vir \u2019n verklarende bevel spruit uit sy suksesvolle aansoek teen die speaker en burgemeester op 16 Januarie, wie se regspan toegegee het hulle het proseduri\u00eble foute in die raadsvergadering gemaak waarop daar besluit is om sy skorsing te verleng. Matlala se skorsing is deur die hof opgehef en Dipuo Peters, speaker, en Martha Bartlett, burgemeester, is bestraffende kostebevele in hul persoonlike hoedanigheid opgel\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soos die beweerde \u201copdrag\u201d van dr. Zamani Saul, ANC voorsitter, op dieselfde dag in \u2019n uitgelekte boodskap aan die ANC se provinsiale uitvoerende komitee se WhatsApp-groep, is \u0149 aansoek om app\u00e8l ingedien \u201com die status quo\u201d te handhaaf en is \u0149 senior advokaat as deel van die regspan aangestel. Die egtheid van die gelekte boodskap is deur Deshi Ngxanga, die ANC se provinsiale sekretaris bevestig, terwyl Saul beweer het die WhatsApp-boodskap is \u201cvals en deur kunsmatige intelligensie geskep\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

App\u00e8laansoek skort hofbevel op<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Die aansoek om app\u00e8l is op Saterdag 17 Januarie, \u0149 dag n\u00e1 Peters en Barlett se hofnederlaag, ingedien. Adv. Patrick Ngutshana SC het verlede Vrydag as die nuwe bykomende lid van Peters en Bartlett se regspan by die hof verskyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die raad se app\u00e8laansoek skort die hofbevel op, wat beteken Matlala bly geskors. Hy het daarom die aansoek gebring vir \u0149 verklarende bevel wat sy terugkeer as stadsbestuurder bevestig hangende die app\u00e8laansoek, waarvoor die hof nog nie \u0149 datum verskaf het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die speaker en die burgemeester het in hul beto\u00eb in die hof aangevoer hulle wil die skorsing verleng, want Matlala se lyfwagte het hulle op 5 Januarie bedreig laat voel, en hulle is bang hy intimideer getuies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Konsternasie in raadsvergaderings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Die besluit om die app\u00e8laansoek te bring het op 21 Januarie, net soos op 8 Januarie toe besluit is om Matala se skorsing te verleng, weer vir konsternasie in die spesiale raadsvergaderings gesorg, wat agter geslote deure plaasgevind het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens opposisiepartye het heelwat ANC-raadslede nie by die vergaderings op 8 en 21 Januarie opgedaag nie, wat hul party \u0149 minderheid teenoor die opposisielede gegee het. Volgens opposisielede het Peters daarom enige stemming \u201csoos die pes vermy want haar party sou verloor het\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Op 21 Januarie het die vergadering n\u00e1 drie ure ineengestort nadat die opposisielede uitgestap en daar nie meer \u0149 kworum was nie. Opposisieraadslede was erg ontevrede omdat die speaker en burgemeester sonder die raad se goedkeuring die app\u00e8laansoek ingedien het, wat regskoste behels. Na bewering het een ANC-raadslid sy mond verby gepraat en ges\u00ea die \u201cANC het besluit\u201d om die app\u00e8laansoek in te dien. Hy het glo probeer om sy stelling terug te trek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nog \u2018n twispunt was die verlenging van Busisiwe Mgaguli, wat \u0149 misdaadrekord vir bedrog het, se aanstelling as waarnemende munisipale bestuurder. Die omstandighede van haar aanstelling word glo deur die Openbare Beskermer ondersoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wetlikheid van volgehoue skorsing bevraagteken<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Op die spesiale raadsvergadering van 8 Januarie het opposisiepartye die wetlikheid van die volgehoue skorsing bevraagteken en aangevoer die raad het nie die geleentheid gehad om die klagstaat te bestudeer nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die burgemeester is glo beskuldig dat sy eensydig en onwettig opgetree het deur ‘n \u201cklagstaat uit te reik\u201d sonder die raad se mandaat. Ander raadslede het ook proseduri\u00eble foute, teenstrydighede en gebrek aan bewyse teen Matlala uitgewys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens teenwoordiges wou hulle die voorstel om Matlala se skors, debatteer en daaroor stem, \u201cmaar Peters het geweier om in die opposisiepartye se rigting te kyk en toegelaat dat ANC-raadslede blitsig die voorstel aanvaar en sekondeer, waarna sy die vergadering verdaag het. Geen stemming het toe plaasgevind nie,\u201d s\u00ea die raadslid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tydens verlede Vrydag se spesiale raadsvergadering is die sakelys met betrekking tot die begroting sonder onenigheid afgehandel. Mgaguli, as waarnemende munisipale bestuurder, was afwesig weens \u201congesteldheid\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
