There must be a proper assessment of the 2018 intervention which will help identify the challenges the municipality continues to face, and what actions must be taken to respond to those challenges. SALGA was further worried about the status of the section 139 intervention, the desired outcome of the intervention and how the new Administrator is going to produce the results which could not be achieved in the last two years of the intervention. In SALGA’s view, the intervention made by the provincial government in the municipality created some serious legislative and legal problems. The handover report can be interrogated to understand the new challenges going forward into the future. This is a worrying trend if it continues to happen because everyone is going to step down without providing a detailed report. It is important to go back to the terms of reference of the Administrator, and to find out what the mandate of the Executive Council of Gauteng was with the Administrator, and why the Administrator, through the Executive Council, failed to perform and produce a detailed report of his role. This suggests the provincial government is acknowledging it made a blunder, and saved itself and not the municipality. SALGA was concerned by the lack of detail of what the previous Administrator achieved in his two year tenure. The presentation covered key achievements to date over various focus areas, challenges, terms of reference for the new Administrator and the programme of action linked to the request for the extension of the intervention in the Emfuleni municipality. On 13 June 2018, the Executive Council accordingly resolved to invoke the provisions of section 139(1)(b) and (5)(a) of the Constitution.

The support, however, proved to be inadequate as the Municipality continued to perform poorly, and a number of systemic failures (financial, service delivery and governance) persisted. The Gauteng provincial government is providing support to Emfuleni in terms of section 154 of the Constitution as a mechanism to help improve the financial viability and dire service delivery situation in the Municipality. The Gauteng Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs presented its programme of action linked to the request for extension of the intervention in the Emfuleni local municipality in terms of section 139 of the Constitution.
