SAKELIGA has informed President Cyril Ramaphosa and several of his ministers that it will seek personal cost orders against them — unless they urgently take direct responsibility for recovery of the collapsed Ditsobotla Local Municipality in the North West Province.

According to the organisation, the president and his national executive are in gross violation of their constitutional duties to resolve Ditsobotlas implosion of water services, electricity provision, and basic administration. It has given the government until August 15 to provide written confirmation of the steps they are taking or intend to take to intervene.

Sakeliga has informed the premier of North West and his provincial executive that it will also be seeking personal cost orders against them if they do not immediately withdraw their opposition to Sakeliga’ litigation.
