Durban - KwaZulu-Natal co-operative governance and traditional affairs MEC Sipho Hlomuka is heading to the Constitutional Court on Tuesday to overturn the appointments of two âinexperiencedâ municipal managers.
Hlomuka wants the apex court to declare the appointments of Nkandla municipal manager Langelihle Jili and his Mthonjaneni counterpart Philani Sibiya null and void with immediate effect.
The appointments of Jili and Sibiya were declared invalid, null and void by the KwaZulu-Natal High Court Judge Piet Koen in February 2019, for failing to comply with the provisions of the Municipal Systems Act 2000 and its regulations.
KwaZulu-Natal Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC wants the appointments of two municipal managers set aside.
The High Court in Pietermaritzburg previously ruled in favour of the MEC, setting aside the appointments.
But the Supreme Court of Appeals overturned the decision, stating that the delay in launching the application for review was unreasonable.
The appointments of two KwaZulu-Natal municipal managers (MM) should be declared null and void and should be set aside.
