KZN Premier Breaks Law by Dissolving Amafa Council

 

 

6th March 2009

 

The IFP has raised eyebrows at the sudden decision taken by the Office of KwaZulu Natal Premier Sibusiso Ndebele to terminate the services of the chairperson of Amafa Arthur Konigkramer along with the entire council.

 

"The Official Opposition has asked Premier Ndebele to disclose his reasons for this controversial decision," said Leader of the Official Opposition in KwaZulu Natal Dr Lionel Mtshali.

 

The IFP contends that since the dismissal took effect in the absence of proper transitional arrangements in accordance with the KwaZulu Natal Heritage Act 2008, the Premier has effectively broken the law by relieving the Amafa council of its duties.
