25 August 2020 - NW1762
Brink, Mr C to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
(1) (a) In which municipalities and (b) on what dates did she exercise her powers to intervene in terms of section 139(7) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, in the stead of the provincial executive since her appointment to the current portfolio? (2) What (a) was the purpose of each intervention, (b) form did each intervention take and (c) was the outcome of each intervention? NW58E
Reply:
(1)(a) Since the appointment of the Minister in her current portfolio, no municipality to date, has been subjected to an intervention in terms of section 139(7) of the Constitution.
(1)(b) and 2(a)(b)(c), these questions are not applicable, since section 139(7) of the Constitution was never invoked by the Minister in her current portfolio.
End.
