Die Speaker van die Saldanha- baai-munisipaliteit (SBM) het Maandag 15 Junie op ‘n spesiale raadsvergadering oor die Valke-ondersoek na kontrakverlengings van meer as 30 behuisingsprojekte as “vervalste nuus” verwys.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Olwene Daniels het op die vergadering, wat virtueel gehou is, beweer daar is “geen sodanige ondersoek deur die Valke nie” en dat dit bloot “‘n hype” is wat deur “‘n sekere politieke party” geskep word.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weslander het egter op Donderdag 4 Junie skriftelike bevestiging van AO Zinzi Hani van die Valke (die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisie se Direktoraat vir Prioriteitsmisdaadondersoeke) ontvang dat die saak \u2013 genommer 26\/18\/2 (2647) \u2013 deur die Ondersoekafdeling vir Ernstige Kommersi\u00eble Misdaad van die Valke in Bellville hanteer word (“Valke ondersoek Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit oor tenderverlengings”, 12 Junie 2026, weslander.co.za).\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘Dit is nie waar nie’\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toe raadslid Yumnah Jackson, ‘n proporsionele raadslid vir die National Coloured Congress (NCC), op die vergadering gevra het of die dringende items verband hou met die Valke-ondersoek wat opslae gemaak het, het die Speaker skerp gereageer. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Die opskrifte is net opskrifte. Daar is geen sodanige ding nie. Ons het almal daardie e-pos van STOPP gesien, en toe het hy dit na al die koerante gestuur, en Mettler het Weslander geantwoord en ges\u00ea dit is vals nuus. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Daar is geen sodanige ondersoek deur die Valke nie,” het Daniels ges\u00ea.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Dit is net nuus en … dit is ‘n gekkeseisoen. Die MM het skriftelik in sy antwoorde aan die media gestel dat daar nie ‘n ondersoek is nie.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daniels het bygevoeg: “Ongelukkig is dit jammer dat mense politiek wil speel met diensleweringsaangeleenthede.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Valke bevestig ondersoek\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Valke se bevestiging weerspreek die munisipaliteit se standpunt direk.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ondersoek volg op ‘n klagte deur Services to Our People’s Party oor Raadsresolusie R68\/6-25. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
STOPP beweer die munisipaliteit het Artikel 116(3) van die Wet op Plaaslike Regering: Munisipale Finansi\u00eble Bestuurswet misbruik om vereistes vir openbare deelname te omseil.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een van STOPP se kernbewerings is dat die openbare kennisgewing eers n\u00e1 die raadsbesluit uitgereik is \u2013 die resolusie is op 11 Junie 2025 aangeneem, maar die kennisgewing is eers op 12 Junie 2025 gepubliseer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Redes vir kontrakverlenging\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op die spesiale vergadering het die munisipale bestuurder Heinrich Mettler die verskillende tenders en redes vir verlenging uiteengesit.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens hom het verskeie behuisingsprojekte ernstige vertragings ondervind weens omgewingsimpakassesserings (EIA’s), hofsake en probleme met ontwikkelaars.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Met betrekking tot die residensi\u00eble skool het ons ‘n hofbevel gehad wat ons verplig het om die dienste namens die ontwikkelaars te voltooi omdat hulle nie die regte dienste gelewer het nie. Dit is opgehou deur verskeie vertragings,” het Mettler verduidelik.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘n Ander projek is glo vertraag omdat daar probleme met die \u00adgemeenskapsimpakstudie (CIA) en gemeenskapsbetrokkenheidsproses (CEP) was. Die munisipaliteit moes die eerste tender kanselleer weens die nie-nakoming van konfigurasiebestuursdatabank-regulasies (CMDB).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die tender moes weer uitgereik word.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘n Ander projek wag steeds op goedkeurings vir EIA’s en Erfenis Wes-Kaap-goedkeurings.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ons het die rekord van besluit uiteindelik ontvang, maar wag steeds vir finale goedkeurings sodat ons kan voortgaan met dorpsbeplanning waarna hierdie projek kan begin,” het die amptenaar ges\u00ea.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir verskeie projekte is daar minimale finansi\u00eble implikasies aangesien die werk reeds gevorderd is, maar ingenieurs se toesighouding is steeds nodig totdat alles afgehandel is.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kommer oor kontrakbestuur\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verskeie raadslede het steun uitgespreek ten gunste van die items om dienslewering te verseker, maar ernstige kommer uitgespreek oor kontrakbestuur.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anton Jansen, proporsionele verteenwoordiger vir die Vryheidsfront Plus, het ges\u00ea hy het 30 jaar ervaring in verkryging.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Wat ek sien is dat ons die administrasie se probleme moet regmaak, wat baie eenvoudig is om reg te maak.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy wou by Mettler weet watter bykomende stappe geneem word om sulke voorvalle in die toekoms te verhoed, veral wat betref maandelikse oorsig, kontrakbestuur, verslae en strafklousules vir verskaffers.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daniels het ook die dringendheid van die vergadering verdedig en ges\u00ea dit is binne die re\u00ebls.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Dit is nutteloos om nie die items te red en aan te neem nie, dan sal die gemeenskap ly,” het sy ges\u00ea. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ek het ‘n plig as voorsitter van die raad om te verseker dat die administrasie kan voortgaan met sy werk.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die items is met 21 stemme aanvaar: die DA met 13 stemme, GOOD 4, en die VF Plus, NCC, PA en EFF elk een stem. Die MK Party het buite stemming gebly, terwyl die ANC skriftelik laat weet het hy sal nie die vergadering bywoon nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raadslid Theresa Rossouw, die ANC se hoofsweep, het ges\u00ea die kort kennisgewing en gejaagde proses laat nie toe vir die grondige debat en ondersoek wat sulke items vereis nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Kontrakte en tenders wat miljoene rande van belastingbetalers se geld behels, kan nie sonder die nodige oorsig voortgaan nie,” lui die verklaring.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ten spyte van die Valke se bevestiging hou die munisipaliteit vol dat hy geen formele kennisgewing van ‘n ondersoek ontvang het nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tereza Burger, kommunikasiebeampte van SBM, het verlede week aan Weslander bevestig dat die munisipaliteit met enige ondersoek sal saamwerk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
