The Municipal Demarcation Board will continue making changes to the outer boundaries of certain municipalities following a North Gauteng High Court ruling against a DA urgent interdict on Friday. The board told The Times it will continue with ward delimitation to work out the number of councillors per municipality in relation to the number of votes in affected areas.This came after Judge Jody Kollapen refused the DA an interdict to stop new demarcations pending a review.Kollapen found the DA did not have a strong case and the shortcomings in the demarcation were not material to justify granting it such far-reaching relief.The DA sought an urgent interdict in September to restrain the board from merging certain municipal borders, with special focus on Tlokwe and Ventersdorp municipalities in North West.The DA's James Selfe said at the time that his party took the board to court to stop it proclaiming outer boundaries and from proceeding with ward demarcations.Selfe claimed residents of both municipalities were not "adequately" informed ahead of the decision to merge the municipalities.He further claimed the board's decision was fraught with bias and party political motivations.Minister of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs Pravin Gordhan was accused by the DA in court papers of interfering in the demarcation, and the party asserted that the changes favoured the ANC.At the beginning of the year, Gordhan requested the board to determine 34 boundaries, of which 13 had been determined before.Board chairman Jane Thupana welcomed the judgment: "Attempts by the DA to stop the b oard from executing its constitutional mandate have not succeeded."The board is happy the aspersions cast upon its independence and integrity are baseless, as confirmed by the judgment."..
