Sowa councillors face dissolution

Sowa Township Authority consists of eight nominated councillors by the minister, whose portfolio includes supervision of councils. There is also one elected councillor for Tshwaane/Malelejwe who also seats at the main Central District Council (CDC). The dissolution matter has diametrically shaken the political wing of the council although some affected civic leaders have preferred to give the matter a wait-and-see attitude.

Addressing a Kgotla meeting in Sowa Township on Wednesday morning, Venson-Moitoi announced that in line with powers vested upon her, she was destined to dissolve the Sowa Township Authority in terms of the Local Government Act of 2012 section 89.
