The committee will then table a report to the NCOP either supporting or not supporting the intervention,&#8221; said Dodovu.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">In his address, MEC Hlomuka outlined the factors that the department looked into prior to intervening in the municipality, which include issues with cash flows and compliance with the laws governing local government.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Our interventions are always a matter of last resort. We always prefer to provide support and if this does not work, only then do we consider intervention. Even with this intervention, we are keenly assessing the state of the municipality as we receive monthly reports from the administrator Phumlani Mntambo,&#8221; said Hlomuka.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">During the session, Mntambo gave a promising report on the progress that has been made since the intervention in the municipality. He also thanked Cogta for deploying to Richmond its yellow plant equipment, which includes graders, TLBs and excavators, which are currently busy at work in various wards.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Councillors, Business Chamber, Organised Labour, Farmers&#8217; Association and SALGA were also given an opportunity to make inputs on the status of the municipality following the intervention.
