South African ratepayers are in despair as mayoral musical chairs and coalition dramas have led to chaotic governance in many a metro. In this interview with BizNews, Marius Roodt of the Institute of Race Relations (IRR) says it is time for governance in the metros to be taken seriously. He dissects the removal of the Democratic Alliance's Cilliers Brink as Mayor of Tshwane, as well as ActionSA's working arrangement with the African National Congress in Joburg. However, he also explains why stability in city governance is not dependent on Government of National Unity agreements being binding on lower levels of governments. “I don't think it's all that healthy for the DA and ANC to sort of become some kind of mega party which has big majorities across the country.” Meanwhile, Roodt shares some of the recommendations the IRR is currently developing for the stabilisation of municipal government.

ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba speaks to BizNews about the “dirty political environment” in which Tshwane Mayor Cilliers Brink of the Democratic Alliance was ousted. He says the DA leadership at national level has been doing “everything possible to even threaten” the African National Congress to do the deal with them in Tshwane. “…the DA is still trying everything in their books, including actually using blackmail…and…according to the ANC, they find this to really be totally unacceptable because when they formed the GNU, there were no discussions around municipalities.” Mashaba adds: “Perhaps they even still succeed because we've got 14 days to form a new government. If the ANC is going to concede to blackmail, it's up to them.” Meanwhile, Mashaba is pushing for Deputy Mayor Dr. Nasiphi Moya to replace Brink. “All the credits that Cilliers Brink is seen to be doing, actually, it's a result of our deputy mayor.” If everything goes according to plan, he does, however have this warning for the ANC: “You want to work with us, you work with us at your own risk if ever you want to continue corruption because no one is going to be protected from corruption, including ActionSA members.”

The Democratic Alliance Mayor of Tshwane, Cilliers Brink, was today toppled in a Vote of No Confidence. In his reaction, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement, says this is part of the strategy of African National Congress Premier Panyaza Lesufi. “And this, if you look at it as a stick of dynamite and you put the fuse, I will tell you today the first fuse was lit in the Joburg Metro a couple of months ago. The second one is now lit in Tshwane and I predict the third one, it's on its way to Ekurhuleni. It is my opinion, and this will have to be proved in the future, that no doubt Mr. Lesufi is putting his huge, huge card on the table for the national conference of the ANC in two years. I think you've got a faction rising.”

It is now 88 days since South Africa's Government of National Unity was formalised by appointing a multi-party national cabinet.

In this interview, Tshwane's executive mayor, Cilliers Brink, unpacks why this is happening. He says the national leaders of Action SA, specifically its founder/president Herman Mashaba, are imposing their will on the party's members in the capital city. Action SA, with 19 seats, is currently in coalition with the DA (69), Freedom Front Plus (17) and a few smaller parties in the group governing the 214-member council. Taken to its logical conclusion, Mashaba's decision to withdraw Action SA from a functional alliance will re-introduce an ANC/EFF “doomsday coalition”. He spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.

Die burgemeester van Tshwane, Cilliers Brink, sê die stad is vasbeslote om wetstoepassing asook omgewingsregulasies oral in die metro op te skerp. Tshwane het onlangs geraasbesoedelings-regulasies in Plastic View en Cemetry View afgedwing.

Brink beklemtoon die aanstel van 'n nuwe topbestuurspan wat gefokus is op prestasie en integriteit. Hy is in sy stadsrede vol vertroue om 'n ongekwalifiseerde oudit te bereik deur die oorblywende kwessies aan te pak, en beklemtoon die finansiële reddingspoging duur voort, met baie werk wat voorlê.

ActionSA in Gauteng sê hy ondersteun die Stad Tshwane se pogings om die metro se finansiële toestand te stabiliseer, ten volle. Tshwane se burgemeester, Cilliers Brink, het Maandag ʼn dapper finansiële reddingsplan aangekondig wat hoofsaaklik gegrond is op verhoogde inkomste en minder besteding. Debiteure skuld Tshwane tans 23,3 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand. ActionSA se woordvoerder, Funzi Ngobeni, sê die stad beplan om oor die volgende ses maande uitgawes elke maand met 1 miljard rand te besnoei:

Die ANC sê die Stad Tshwane, onder die DA-geleide koalisie, verkeer in ‘n treurige finansiële verknorsing. Die party spreek diepe kommer uit oor die Nasionale Tesourie se plan om ‘n toekenning vir kapitaalprojekte te kanselleer, met verwysing na die koalisie se onvermoë om fondse wat vir dienslewering geoormerk is, doeltreffend te benut. Die JSE oorweeg ook die opskorting van die stad se effekte weens die langdurige onbeskikbaarheid van geouditeerde finansiële state. Die ANC se streeksekretaris, George Matjila, eis die bedanking van burgemeester, Cilliers Brink, en sy koalisievennote.

City of Tshwane Executive Mayor, Cilliers Brink says there has been a delay in capital spending in the metro, due to tighter controls put in place to prevent irregular and wasteful expenditure. Brink was responding to news that the National Treasury has written a formal letter to the City, threatening to withdraw over six hundred million rand, because of the City's underperformance and noncompliance with the integrated urban development grants. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Tshepo Mahlangu- President of LASCA, a Tshwane-based ratepayers advocacy group.

Die Stad Tshwane se burgemeester, Cilliers Brink, sê ʼn nuwe eenheid word in die polisiedepartement saamgestel om op onwettige verbindings te fokus. Verlede week is 70 inwoners van die stad se elektrisiteitsnetwerk en watervoorsiening ontkoppel omdat hulle munisipale rekeninge nie betaal word nie.

Tshwane se burgemeester, Cilliers Brink, sê die nuutverkose onder-burgemeester, Nasiphi Moya, sal help om die koalisie-regering bestendig te maak. Sy was voorheen die gewese DA-burgemeester, Stevens Mokgalapa, se personeelhoof. Moya word ondersoek vir beweerde finansiële ongerymdhede ten opsigte van ‘n besoek aan Saoedi-Arabaië.

Brink beklemtoon Uys se ryke ervaring as lid van die Artikel 79-Oorsigkomitee oor Finansies sedert 2016.

Die burgemeester van Tshwane, Cilliers Brink, doen ‘n dringende beroep vir ‘n vermindering in waterverbruik weens dalende watervlakke in die metro se opgaardamme. Dit is hoofsaaklik aan die onlangse hittetoestand toe te skryf. Die hoër aanvraag het gelei tot lae vlakke in Rand Water én Tshwane se opgaardamme. Brink sê waterbewaring is die praktyk om water doeltreffend te gebruik om onnodige watergebruik uit te skakel:

City of Tshwane mayor, Cilliers Brink says a senior SAMWU regional executive member has been dismissed for allegedly being involved in the torching of waste removal trucks belonging to a contractor. Brink says video footage shows a group that firebombed the truck being dropped off and collected by a vehicle belonging to the SAMWU leader on August 28. Eight vehicles have been set alight since the beginning of the unprotected wage strike in July. Brink, however, says it is disappointing that the dismissed employee has not yet been arrested despite evidence being handed over to the police. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to City of Tshwane mayor, Cilliers Brink 

Tshwane's Executive Mayor, Cilliers Brink, may represent the most rational hope for reversing South Africa's prolonged decline into poverty. Brink's leadership in confronting organized labour epitomises the country's challenges in the coming years. After decades of ANC compliance and regular capitulation to increasingly unsustainable demands of trade unions, Tshwane's DA-led coalition refused to approve a R600 million wage increase to avoid further strain on an already R3 billion under-funded budget. The illegal strikers, constituting only 10% of the Metro's workforce, have resorted to criminal violence, setting a precedent that could become a test case for the entire nation. In this episode of UNDICTATED, Brink discussed the situation with Alec Hogg, the editor of BizNews.

The Tshwane metro has been without a mayor since the resignation of former mayor Randall Williams in February.

DA mayoral candidate, Cilliers Brink explains the latest from the counsel sitting with SABC reporter Patricia Visagie.

Die onafhanklike Artikel 89-paneel het prima facie-bewyse gevind dat President Cyril Ramaphosa sekere dele van die Grondwet oortree het. Die paneel onder voorsitterskap van afgetrede hoofregter Sandile Ngcobo moes vasstel of daar 'n saak was om 'n ampsklag teen die president in te dien oor die diefstal op sy Phala Phala-plaas in Limpopo. Die paneel het bevind Ramaphosa het moontlik ernstige wangedrag gepleeg, dele van die Wet op die Voorkoming en Bestryding van Korrupte Aktiwiteite oortree, teenstrydig met sy ampseed opgetree en homself aan botsende belange blootgestel. Intussen sê die paneel in sy verslag daar is bewyse van 'n doelbewuste poging om nie die misdade by Phala Phala openlik te ondersoek nie. In die verslag word ook gemeld dis kommerwekkend dat die diefstal nie soos 'n gewone misdaad by die polisie aangemeld is nie en voeg by die feit dat daar tot op hede geen saaknommer is nie, bewys die manier waarop dit aangemeld is was onregmatig en onwettig. Die DA het by monde van sy woordvoerder, Cilliers Brink, so reageer.

The Democratic Alliance has given the acting national Commissioner of Correctional Services, Makgothi Thobakgale a deadline of Friday to ensure former President Jacob Zuma returns to prison. The party's lawyers wrote to Thobakgale demanding that Zuma be returned back to Estcourt Correctional Centre to serve out the remainder of his sentence. This follows Monday's ruling by the Supreme Court of Appeal that Zuma's medical parole was illegal. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Cilliers Brink, National spokesperson for the DA.

Die DA sê Eskom in Gauteng mag nie die elektrisiteitstoevoer na enige munisipaliteit afsny sonder omvattende inter-regeringsprosesse nie. Dit is 'n les wat Eskom reeds in die hof geleer het. Cilliers Brink van die DA sê die kragvoorsiener se voortslepende dreigemente teen die Stad Tshwane is nie net onverantwoordelik nie, maar ook ongrondwetlik:

Die DA in Tshwane beskuldig opposisiepartye, insluitend sy koalisievennoot ActionSA, van teenstand teen die beëindiging van beurtkrag. Opposisiepartye het Dinsdag geweier om vir 'n forensiese ondersoek te stem wat nie aangevra is nie. Dis van 'n maatskappy wat aangebied het om twee kragstasies vir 26-miljard-rand op te knap en te onderhou. Die DA-lid, Cilliers Brink, sê Tshwane wil sy afhanklikheid van Eskom verminder soos in die geval van Kaapstad, Johannesburg en ander munisipaliteite waar die DA-koalisie in beheer is:

Elke keer as 'n swart leier uit die DA bedank, word die party subtiel, sowel blatant van rassisme beskuldig, of dan dat hulle minstens nie goeie rasseverhoudinge in die party se leierskap handhaaf nie. Dit is ook nou die geval met die bedanking van Makashule Gana en Patricia Kopane. Van Herman Mashaba en Mmusi Maimane se dramatiese vertrek uit die party 'n paar jaar gelede, tot Mbali Ntuli se aanslag op die posisie van leier as die party, sowel as die vertrek van Phumzile van Damme en Bongani Baloyi is ook deur verskeie ontleders, joernaliste en sommige betrokkenes self met die raskwas ingekleur. Maar as 'n mens na die samestelling van die party se leierskorps kyk en 'n klomp ander kwessies in ag neem, wil die som ten opsigte van die beskuldigings nie klop nie. Vanaand om 7:00 stel ek die vraag aan Cilliers Brink en Gert Van der Westhuizen.

Opposition parties say they will use the courts and Parliamentary processes to hold President Cyril Ramaphosa and his administration accountable over the alleged cover-up following the robbery at his Phala Phala farm in Limpopo.  The forum made up of seven political parties including the DA, EFF, IFP, ACDP, UDM, NFP, ATM, COPE and the PAC said that Parliament must hold President Ramaphosa accountable for violations of laws, his oath of office, and the constitution in terms of what took place at Phala Phala Farm.

The DA wants the ANC investigated for systemic and calculated fraud, racketeering, corruption, looting of state coffers, and related offences spanning two decades. DA national spokesperson Cilliers Brink confirmed this in an interview with BizNews in which he expanded on the rationale informing his party's laying of criminal charges against the ANC in terms of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act. The actions of the governing party, Brink believes, has clearly conformed to that of a “criminal enterprise”.

President Cyril Ramaphosa says he has fulfilled his obligation to provide advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane with a fair hearing and has now decided to suspend her with immediate effect. In a statement, the President says Mkhwebane will remain suspended until the National Assembly's section 194 process to consider her fitness to hold office has been completed. The Presidency says it has granted Mkhwebane the opportunity to make submissions which he has considered carefully. The Presidency says the Deputy Public Protector is empowered to act when the Public Protector is not able to perform her duties and any investigations that are pending or underway should not be impeded. Mkhwebane's suspension comes just days after she confirmed that she would probe the matter of the robbery on Ramaphosa's Phala Phala farm.
