SAMWU Welcomes the placing of Thabazimbi Local Municipality Under Administration
The South African Municipal Workers Union (SAMWU) in Limpopo Province on behalf of its 10 000 plus members would like to congratulate and welcome the conviction, courage and determination of the Limpopo Provincial Cabinet led by Premier Phophi Ramathuba for its intention to place the Thabazimbi Local Municipality under section 139(1) (c) administration.
SAMWU is brimming with confidence in that this decision will put to rest all political machinations by different political parties vying for power in the municipality through court processes whilst neglecting to ensure provision of good and quality services to the residents of Thabazimbi who are paying for their services and legitimately expecting to be served.
SAMWU is also happy that this decision will ultimately ensure much needed administrative stability where workers were not paid their salaries on time, or their third parties not paid whilst others are suspended for raising working-class perspectives so much needed in this time of our revolution.
SAMWU calls on all its members to welcome and support this intervention and to mobilise all mass democratic formations to develop a political program to reclaim this municipality through the ballot box.
