The DA in Limpopo is in panic mode after a move to oust it from political power at the Modimolle-Mookgophong Municipality through two separate motions of no confidence filed by the ANC and EFF.
This was worsened by the resolution of the provincial executive to invoke Section 139(1) (c) which deals with the dissolution of the municipal council and the appointment of an administrator until a new council is elected, if exceptional circumstances warrant such a step.
The ANC and EFF are to use their combined numbers in the council to oust the DA, which gained power through a coalition with the EFF and Freedom Front after the August 2016 municipal elections.
The ANC has 12 seats, the DA holds seven, and the EFF and Freedom Front have five and two respectively.
The ANC has filed a motion against mayor Marlene van Staden. The EFF wants the whole political management team – Van Staden, speaker Dingaan Motshwene and chief whip Hercules Louw – removed.
But DA provincial leader, Jacques Smalle, told the media on Monday that the motions of no confidence were driven by sinister motives.
“These motions came at a time of the imminent release of a forensic audit investigation preliminary report which is likely to incriminate the failing ANC and EFF politicians and some municipal officials into irregularities of tenders and contracts awarded [in] the last two years,” Smalle said.
“In addition to this, the municipality is in the process of awarding several tenders to the value of tens of millions of rands. The DA was reliably informed that the motions are allegedly aimed at stopping the release of the forensic investigation and to elect an ANC/EFF coalition of corruption to share in a tender scheme with an eye on raising funds for both parties’ 2019 election campaigns,” he said.
The municipality is currently under administration, but Smalle reiterated that the challenges were inherited from the previous ANC administration. He said the DA/EFF coalition at the Thabazimbi Municipality remain intact despite numerous efforts by the ANC to wrestle power back after it was removed from power in the 2016 municipal elections.
At a separate media briefing, Economic Development, Environmental Affairs and Tourism MEC Seaparo Sekoati announced an executive decision to invoke Section 139(c) at its special meeting in Bela-Bela.
The reasons include that the municipality remains severely cash-strapped and unable to fulfil its constitutional obligations. It’s unable to pay creditors within the stipulated 30 days and credit stands at R448m as at October this year of which R354m is over by 20 days.
“Since the intervention, there has been notable slow progress to turn around the state of affairs at Modimolle-Mookgophong municipality. The progress is hampered by continuous disruptions,” Sekoati said.
“The executive committee does not meet [as] regularly as it should due to the meetings not forming a quorum occasioned by last-minute apologies by members, while the municipality convenes more special meetings than ordinary council meetings which implies that council committees are dysfunctional,” he said.
However, Smalle later told News24 that he believed the decision was politically driven.
“I think it’s premature and it is clear that this is linked towards the DA. There is seven days to respond and this still has to be referred to the minister and has to be debated in council. There is still a lot of water to run.”
He said the ANC and EFF motions could still be debated before a council could be dissolved.
Meanwhile, the Fetakgomo-Tubatse Municipality which lost millions of rands invested in the now liquidated VBS Mutual Bank, is technically bankrupt and has been placed under administration.
Sekoati said the risk of community unrest was mounting as service delivery projects have come to a halt and creditors were not being paid, among other problems.
The 2019 general elections are more significant to the ANC than the first democratic elections in 1994, former president Jacob Zuma said on Monday.
“When we voted for the first time, we were excited and happy that [former president Nelson] Mandela was released from prison. We have serious challenges now which need us to be tough and disciplined. Even opposition members must vote for the ANC, but remain in their parties,” Zuma said.
He was speaking to scores of people during an ANC KwaZulu-Natal campaign trail in Clermont, west of Durban.
“We must protect this freedom. Poverty came with land dispossession and if we can sort [out] the land issue, poverty would be eradicated.”
He said people should be bothered by people who said the land was theirs but were born somewhere else.
“Instead they should say: ‘Let’s resolve this,’ and not make it difficult,” Zuma said.
Zuma said if he was a priest, he would have likened the ANC to “Alpha and Omega”.
“The ANC is the beginning and the end. If you love your party and [you are] sentimental, I’m not fighting with you. But cast your vote where it will be put into good use and then stay in your party,” he said.
He said he has heard other parties “speak” but “none” had explained how they would help the community more than the ANC.
He said some parties wanted the ANC to get less than 50% of votes at next year’s elections, “so that it becomes weak and can’t govern by itself but instead form a coalition with another party”.
“We don’t want that. We want a two-thirds majority.”
Zuma warned ANC members who were still hesitant about voting next year because they held different views about the party’s current leadership.
“I don’t want to hear people saying: ‘I don’t know if I’ll vote’. Has the ANC changed? No. But you’re voting for the ANC. You can’t fight with an individual and fight with the ANC. The ANC comes first. The people should not be hesitant to vote for the ANC. It’s not for the first time that there have been different opinions,” he said.
Having different views from another party member did not mean you were enemies, Zuma warned.
“Some members might elect Zuma, but it doesn’t mean he is the ANC itself. It’s just for a time being. After a period of time, he will leave and then you can elect the one you love. It’s a mistake to let that leader die with the ANC,” warned Zuma.
He also used the occasion to take a jibe at other political parties.
“The difference between the ANC and other political parties is that they were built on different views. Some were angry and some were expelled from the ANC. That’s why they are called parties. There’s no other party called a liberation movement like the ANC because the ANC was built by the nation,” he said.
He urged ANC supporters to treat next year’s election as “do or die”.
“We can’t let other parties take the freedom we fought for by not voting. They’ll take it and play with it because they don’t know how it came about. You must wake even those who are sick, push them in a wheelbarrow to a voting station and take them back to bed when they have voted. One vote makes a difference,” he said.
Zuma began his day by visiting a shopping centre in Umlazi, south of Durban, in the morning.
Cape Town – Wales coach Warren Gatland hopes at least one topic of discussion will be avoided ahead of Saturday’s Test against South Africa in Cardiff.
“The biggest thing for me – and the players are the same – is that the last thing we want is a media debate about the Welsh No 10s,” Gatland told the Wales Online website.
The Wales mentor is spoilt for choice at No 10, with all of Gareth Anscombe, Dan Biggar and Rhys Patchell in contention.
Biggar produced a man-of-the-match performance when he started at flyhalf in last Saturday’s 74-24 win over Tonga, while his replacement Patchell was impressive when he came on in the final quarter.
However, in the 9-6 win over Australia earlier this month, it was Anscombe who started at flyhalf, while Biggar came on as a fullback replacement.
“All three of the 10s have played well and that’s a great position for me to be in,” said Gatland.
Gatland added that the media debate around who should start at flyhalf “has been going on forever and they don’t want to be stuck in the middle of that”.
“I think whoever is involved against South Africa will see it as a big opportunity and whoever misses out will be very disappointed. It’s a position where we have different players with different strengths, but we’re in a good position there.”
While Wales are pondering their starting flyhalf, the Springboks look more settled in the position.
Handre Pollard was the man-of-the-match in the 26-20 win over Scotland in Edinburgh, while Elton Jantjies seems content with a bench role.
Jantjies was impressive when he came on in the second half at Murrayfield, with Pollard seamlessly slotting into the inside centre berth.
Best friends and soccer stars Mesut Ozil and Mathieu Flamini have teamed up to save the planet. And they’re doing so by starting grooming brand One Unity. The brand launched on Tuesday, with the stars taking to social media to tell the world.
Flamini who used to play for English club Arsenal FC alongside his newfound business partner, Ozil, has played his hand in global sustainability projects for years. He’s been dubbed one of the world’s richest footballers, with his company GF Biochemicals said to be the future in providing a sustainable alternative to oil-based products.
The packaging on the outside
And now he has taken a shot against plastic. With the two midfielders out to defend the planet’s obscene plastic usage. One Unity is said to produce “wellbeing products that combine feeling good and doing good, naturally,” according to their site.
The two state on the site that they’re “not just focused on what’s inside [their] products… [but they] care deeply about the packaging on the outside.
“We’re focused on reducing our impact on the planet, without risking the quality of the product inside.” With ingredients known to be bad for the environment, and the world’s oceans, left out of the packaging. “Harsh ingredients like parabens, SLS, SLES, mineral oils, plastic microbeads and artificial fragrances should be a thing of the past – so we never use them in our products, ever.”
And the two are revolutionising the game, with their grooming collection (which consists of eye cream, deodorant, shaving cream/ beard oil, face wash and shower gel) made from sugarcane, “a renewable and recyclable bioplastic, grown on sustainably farmed land”.
Sugarcane plants help to reduce CO2 emissions, whereas normal plastic made using fossil fuels, increases CO2 emissions, according to the site.
Opportunities for employment
Sugarcane has been put forward in South Africa, too. And is said to be the future of “green” plastics, with Durban home to a vast production of sugarcane. Economics Master’s student at the University of Kwa Zulu-Natal, Warwick Thompson, has a put case forward for diverting biomass from South Africa’s sugarcane crop for the manufacturing of plastics, according to SADC SugarDigest.
According to Thompson, “If South Africa could produce these bio-based polymers, we would move closer towards a bio- economy, being less dependent on fossil resources. Greenhouse emissions would be reduced and further opportunities for employment in the green economy would become available.”
For Ozil and Flamini, their launch has been a powerful one. With the stars launching an emotive ad campaign, alongside their pledge to donate 1% of their revenue towards causes saving the planet and supporting those in need. The video opens with Flamini stating, “It’s half time across the planet. What’s happened already is lost. But what happens next is ours to choose. We choose how to step out and play the next half.”
Here at MH, we’re all about the fight agains plastic, and like Ozil and Flamini, we’re going to play a spectacular second half. This time winning over our planet. Join National Geographic’s incredible initiative to keep single-use plastics out of the environment, sign up here.
