Councillor PR @CoT @DA. Activist for DA. I stand for a better South Africa for all fellow South Africans. I am #lookingforwardto a government that delivers
@afcoetzee@Our_DA You have been the most useless Chief of Staff, not once have you responded to the residents, yet you have time to share nonsense here. You are such a disappointment. Why did your Mayor not withdraw the report? Do you even know how Council works?
This is a staffer in Gauteng premier @Lesufi’s office. Zealous and clueless. If a majority of councillors petition a speaker to hold a council meeting, then it must happen. If the speaker refuses, the city manager may step in. Section 29(1)-(1A) of the Municipal Structures Act.
As promised, DA Provincial Leader @SollyMsimanga and Shadow MEC for Community Safety @CrezaneBosch are in Ga-Rankuwa.
The police station here hasn’t had electricity for a year now ⤵️
The EFF trashes the #Tshwane council chamber to disrupt the city’s budget speech - to demand the insourcing of employees of service providers, and leaving the mess for municipal workers (and fellow councillors) to clean up.
@Our_DA 5/ Essentially, the ANC government wants to maintain its lockdown powers until the national health regulations can be promulgated. The battle against anti-democratic executive overreach in South Africa now shifts: from the Disaster Management Act to the National Health Act.
@Our_DA 4/ The 48-hour comment period announced by NDZ on Tuesday does not apply to the national health regulations. It applies to transitional measures that the government wants to put in place for 30 days after the end of the national state of disaster (probably next week).
@Our_DA 3/ The national health regulations will allow the government to declare a ‘notifiable medical condition’ (not clearly defined), and then to compel certain people suspected of having such a condition to submit to mandatory medical examinations, tests, and treatment.
2/ To be clear, the public still has until 14 April to comment on the draft national health regulations. As @Our_DA has warned: these regulations will transplant temporary government powers under a national state of disaster into permanent (minister-made) law.
1/ Enormous confusion caused by the South African government's attempt to phase out the national state of disaster, while simultaneously trying to make some of its temporary lockdown powers permanent under proposed National Health Act regulations. See NDZ's announcement on Tues.

We ask that ActionSA reconsider their bizarre decision to vote down Tshwane's adjustment budget. They had every chance to influence it as a coalition partner, but failed to do so. For Tshwane, and SA's sake, put petty politicking aside.

The @TMPDSafety must be commended for the zero-tolerance approach it adopted during the past Easter and Festive Season Operations and for their pro-active policing that led to the detection and prevention of more serious road traffic-related incidents.
