Lusanda Bill
17 July 2015
The Western Cape Department of
Local Government has welcomed the urgent intervention by the provincial
treasury for the Oudtshoorn municipality.
The municipality has been
plagued by allegations of serious financial mismanagement and service delivery
challenges.
The council has failed to pass
a budget for the new financial year.
Ministerial Spokesperson
James-Brent Styan said MEC of Local Government Anton Bredell said the intervention
was brought about by the council’s recent failure to pass a budget for the new
financial year 2015/16.
Brent Styan said until a
budget is approved by the municipality the provincial MEC for Finance Dr Ivan
Meyer will be managing the municipality’s finances.
