MEDIA STATEMENT: KZN COGTA MEC HLOMUKA PLACES UMKHANYAKUDE DISTRICT UNDER ADMINISTRATION<\/b><\/p>\n

16 February 2021<\/p>\n

KZN MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) Sipho Hlomuka has today announced the appointment of Bamba Ndwandwe as the administrator of the uMkhanyakude district municipality.<\/p>\n

Hlomuka met with the full council of the district municipality this morning to officially inform its members\u00a0of the decision taken by the Provincial Executive to place the municipality under administration in terms of Section 139(1)b of the Constitution.<\/p>\n

In the meeting, Hlomuka explained to the council that the decision to institute this intervention is the culmination of Cogta\u2019s previous efforts to address long-term dysfunctionality at the district whose governance system has suffered due to internal divisions and failure to convene council for three consecutive scheduled meetings.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the consequences of this frequent and persistent breakdown of council meetings at uMkhanyakude include the council\u2019s failure to table completed forensic investigation reports or the municipality\u2019s precarious cash flow position and resultant failure to meet its financial commitments\u201d said Hlomuka.<\/p>\n

As part of the intervention, the Provincial Government has now assumed the functions specified in terms of Sections 51, 56 and 57 of the Municipal Systems Act as well as those related to financial management.<\/p>\n

Ndwandwe who is now the ministerial representative at uMkhanyakude will be based at the municipality where he will prepare and implement a recovery plan to:<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0ensure the implementation of financial systems, policies and procedures including preparation and implementation of cost-cutting measures,<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0establish and act as chairperson of the interim finance committee to monitor and manage the cash flow of the municipality, approve or dis-approve purchase requisitions and to ensure that the municipality\u2019s cash position is not overdrawn,<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0implement governance systems and procedures, including oversight over the administration and ratification of decisions taken by the council, the Executive Committee, committees, Municipal Manager and Section 56 Managers in terms of delegated or original authority,<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0ensure the implementation of findings arising from any investigations into fraud or maladministration or corruption,<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0ensure the finalisation of unauthorised, irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure reports and any consequence management emanating from the outcome of the reports tabled with the council, and<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0institute all disciplinary processes that will be deemed necessary.<\/p>\n

Hlomuka has urged the uMkhanyakude district council to work together with the newly appointed administrator to address the challenges that have led to the municipality being placed under administration.<\/p>\n
