City of Tshwane takes difficult decision in favour of service delivery<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Dear Johannesburg<\/p>\n

In a closed sitting of the Tshwane City Council today a mutual separation agreement was reached between the City Manager, Moketsi Masola and the City of Tshwane.<\/p>\n

This decision will see the City Manager vacate his office at the end of July 2019.
The people of Tshwane should know that this decision was not taken lightly.<\/p>\n

The DA-led City has attempted on two occasions to suspend Masola for his role in the Glad Africa matter and for contravening the Code of Conduct for Municipal Staff members, set out in the Municipal Systems Act.<\/p>\n

In addition the DA led caucus also worked hard to have an investigation into the Glad Africa matter undertaken by an external investigator.<\/p>\n

On both occasions the ANC and EFF prevented the DA caucus from suspending the City Manager.<\/p>\n

Because of the constraints of legislation, and the protection of the ANC and EFF, a mutual termination agreement is the most practical way to move forward for the benefit of the residents of the City.<\/p>\n

We believe that more costly and time-consuming litigation on the matter would not aid us in bringing it to a quick resolution.<\/p>\n

Our number one mission is delivering better service and to improve the lives of the people of Tshwane. We will not allow anyone get in the way of this mandate.<\/p>\n

The City will now move forward to advertise the position of City Manager and will ensure only the best possible candidates are considered for appointment.<\/p>\n

The DA has a sacred mission in South Africa \u2013 to build a capable state where voters have entrusted us to govern.<\/p>\n

We have achieved much to build a capable City of Tshwane, and this new chapter will see us make ever greater progress.<\/p>\n

Regards<\/p>\n

John Moodey MPL<\/strong>
DA Gauteng Provincial Leader<\/em><\/p>\n
