Budget Crisis in South Africas Sedibeng District: Council Stalled, Services at Risk
The Sedibeng district municipality in South Africa faces a potential service halt due to an unapproved adjustment budget. Council speaker Moipone Modikeng hasnt called a meeting for nearly two months, preventing fund release and project initiation. Political parties accuse her of deliberately stalling to protect Mayor Lerato Maloka from a no-confidence motion. The speaker claims she needs key documents from the mayors office before proceeding. Without the budget, maintenance work halts, contractors remain unpaid, and local areas lose technical and financial assistance. Legal notices warn of irregular spending risks under national finance laws. Municipality officials are reviewing complaints, but tensions rise over service delivery in the region.
