Opposisiepartye en besighede in Kimberley het hul misnoe\u00eb uitgespreek oor die krisis by die Sol Plaatje-munisipaliteit waar die ANC-beheerde raad onder beheer van burgemeester Martha Bartlett en speaker Dipuo Peters weer eens \u0149 app\u00e8laansoek ingedien het om van Thapelo Matlala, stadsbestuurder, ontslae te raak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matlala het reeds twee aansoeke teen hulle en die munisipaliteit gewen waarin die hof sy skorsing as onre\u00eblmatig beskryf en ter syde gestel het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy is verlede jaar geskors weens bewerings van bedrog, maar die munisipaliteit het nooit die tugproses afgehandel nie en sy skorsing het outomaties verval. Die speaker en burgemeester moes later in die hof toegee hul tweede poging om hom te skors en \u0149 waarnemende stadsbestuurder aan te stel, was onre\u00eblmatig. Die hof het die twee ampsdraers met kostebevele in hul persoonlike hoedanigheid gestraf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Wanfunksionele staat het ernstige gevolge’<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sharon Steyn, bedryfshoof van die Noord-Kaapse Sakekamer (Nocci), s\u00ea die wanfunksionele staat in die munisipaliteit het ernstige gevolge op die ekonomie van Kimberley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit benadeel die stad se aantreklikheid as ‘n beleggingsbestemming vir bestaande besighede as nuwe beleggers. Verskeie nuwe ontwikkelings is na omliggende dorpe verskuif, terwyl belangrike ekonomiese rolspelers uit Kimberley wil onttrek en disinvesteer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKimberley is reeds in \u2018n haglike ekonomiese situasie. Verskeie pogings is oor die afgelope jaar aangewend om met politieke en ander regeringsrolspelers te vergader om die situasie op te los, maar sonder enige sukses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy doen \u2019n beroep op alle besighede om ‘n vergadering by te woon wat deur Nocci bel\u00ea sal word. Die oogmerk is om die sakesektor se benadering en \u0149 aksieplan te konsolideer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit sal die huidige situasie uiteensit, asook voorgestelde stappe wat die sakesektor gaan neem. Ons is reeds in gesprek met georganiseerde besigheid op nasionale vlak om met praktiese voorstelle vorendag te kom. Regstellende stappe moet gedoen word om die administrasie en dienslewering in Kimberley tot die verwagte vlakke te herstel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie sakesektor het diep in Kimberley bel\u00ea. Ons gaan nie toelaat dat die voortbestaan van besighede en hul werknemers bedreig word nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Voortgesette politieke sirkus’<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Heinrich Pieterse, DA-koukusleier by die munisipaliteit, s\u00ea die opposisie in die raad gelei deur die DA, het verlede week uit die raadsvergadering geloop nadat die ANC w\u00e9\u00e9r probeer het om \u2019n waarnemende munisipale bestuurder aan te stel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMatlala was op advies van sy regspan nie by die vergadering teenwoordig nie. Dit volg nadat die munisipaliteit weer \u2019n app\u00e8l ingedien het om die hofbevel, wat hom toegelaat het om sy pligte te hervat n\u00e1 sy onre\u00eblmatige skorsing, ter syde te stel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie speaker het geweier om kritieke vrae van die opposisie te beantwoord, insluitend wie die hernude app\u00e8l gemagtig het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie jongste app\u00e8l hou duidelike finansi\u00eble risiko\u2019s vir die munisipaliteit in. Toe die speaker probeer het om aanspreeklikheid te ontduik en sekuriteit ontbied het onder die voorwendsel om \u2018orde\u2019 te herstel, het die opposisie uitgestap om te verhoed dat die raad misbruik word om politieke belange te bevorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie voortgesette politieke sirkus speel af ten koste van dienslewering aan inwoners. Aanhoudende politieke inmenging verlam die bestuur, verhoed dat die munisipale bestuurder sy pligte nakom en belemmer stabiele administrasie. Dit skep ook die moontlikheid dat die munisipaliteit nie vandeesweek se sperdatum vir die ter tafellegging van die begroting sal haal nie. Toelaebefondsing kan weens onderbesteding in die gedrang kom.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inwoners kan nie bekostig dat eindelose politieke speletjies voortsleep terwyl dienslewering verder verswak nie, s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Geen openbare ampsdraer verhewe bo wet’<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Johan Smit, VF Plus-raadslid, s\u00ea hulle is bekommerd oor die speaker se \u201cdoelbewuste versuim” om \u2019n mosie wat die VF Plus volgens prosedure ingedien het, ter tafel te neem. Die mosie gaan oor die afdanking van Matlala, die hofuitspraak en die raad se verontagsaming daarvan. Sy ignoreer dit steeds, ondanks \u2019n bindende skriftelike aanmaning ingevolge die raad se staande re\u00ebls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie optrede is nie bloot prosedurele versuim nie, maar ernstige en onwettige belemmering van die raad se grondwetlike oorsigrol. Die speaker is wetlik verplig om mosies wat behoorlik ingedien is, te laat dien en demokratiese debat te bemiddel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaar doelbewuste versuim om dit te doen, is \u0149 prima facie oortreding van die gedragskode vir raadslede, insluitend skedule 1, items 2, 3 en 5 van die Wet op Munisipale Stelsels, en kom neer op die misbruik van openbare mag.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy s\u00ea die VF Plus gaan formeel eis dat Bentley Vass , Noord-Kaapse LUR vir samewerkende regering, menslike nedersettings en tradisionele sake, \u2019n formele ondersoek ingevolge artikels 14 en 106 van die Munisipale Stelselswet gelas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie bepalings plaas \u2019n bindende, statut\u00eare verpligting op die LUR om op te tree waar daar prima facie bewyse van ernstige wangedrag en ‘n skending van die gedragskode bestaan. Die speaker se versuim om haar wetlike pligte na te kom en moontlike versuim deur die LUR om sy statut\u00eare bevoegdhede uit te oefen, kan verdere regsgevolge inhou, insluitend verwysing na die openbare beskermer vir ondersoek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smit s\u00ea geen openbare ampsdraer staan verhewe bo die wet nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
