The African National Congress (ANC) must prove that its proposed reshuffling of the Makana municipality’s mayor‚ speaker and chief whip in the Eastern Cape was not "merely a cosmetic anti-corruption crusade"‚ Democratic Alliance MP Andrew Whitfield said. “If they are serious about getting tough on corruption and maladministration‚ the city’s three blind mice‚ mayor Zamuxolo Peter‚ speaker Rachel Madinda-Isaac and chief whip Juilia Wells cannot be given a soft landing by simply redeploying them elsewhere.“If they are not fit to serve in Makana‚ they are not fit to serve anywhere.”Whitfield said that maladministration and corruption were the thief of opportunity and the enemy of freedom and progress. In a fair society a strong message needed to be sent that there was no place for non-performers.Makana Municipality was placed under provincial administration in 2014.“We called for Makana to be placed under administration‚ the ANC listened and finally acted; the DA called for the mayor and speaker to be fired for the past three years and the ANC have finally listened.“We cannot waste any more time in dealing decisively with public servants who don’t have the interests of their city at heart.“When the ANC fires mayor Peter we must not rejoice. We must ask why it has taken them so long. Why has the ANC allowed things to get so bad before taking action?“The ANC must not be rewarded for doing the right thing. This is what they are expected to do‚” Whitfield said...
