Civil society, Opposition call for action after SCOPA flays Makana
Civil society organisations and the DA have called for action after Parliament tore to shreds Makana’s senior leadership during an oversight visit last week.
The Makhanda Legends anti-corruption action group used the Standing Committee on Public Accounts’ oversight visit to Makana Municipality on Wednesday 5 May 2021 as an opportunity to ensure their concerns reached the ears and eyes of Parliament. The DA afterwards said SCOPA’s questions and comments had vindicated its call for dissolution and an independent investigation. And the Makana Residents Association called on SCOPA to support the January 2020 judgment ordering Makana to be put under administration.
