The FF Plus remains committed to the existing coalition government in the Tshwane Metro and will do everything in its power to cooperate with the respective coalition partners to fulfil the mandate given to it by voters.
Managing a metro of Tshwane’s scale and complexity entails making many difficult, yet necessary, decisions.
Many of the challenges faced by the coalition have been years in the making and solving them will require patience, teamwork and stability to bring about sustainable progress.
Although the Tshwane Metro’s problems will not be solved overnight, it is important to note that the coalition’s efforts have already resulted in some positive outcomes.
The various parties have worked hard since the coalition took over the Metro to steer the Metro through challenging times for the benefit of all its residents.
Under the coalition, competent and ethical senior managers have been appointed who are dedicated to advancing the Metro’s interests.
With this team in place, significant headway has been made in turning the Metro’s finances around.
The FF Plus is calling on its coalition partners, particularly ActionSA, to band together, create the necessary stability and demonstrate their commitment to the task at hand.
Residents expect the coalition to resolve its differences responsibly, while ensuring that essential service delivery continues despite the Metro’s financial constraints.
ActionSA has every right to be honest about the challenges experienced by the Metro, but should also acknowledge the progress made by the current coalition government and the potential damage that a change of government could cause.
The FF Plus remains committed to putting the Tshwane Metro’s interests first and doing everything in its power to get the Metro back on the right track.
