Who is really sabotaging Tshwane? Accountability starts at the top, not with a plant manager. The rushed suspension of the Bronkhorstspruit plant manager just before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee briefing was not accountability. It was stage management. It let the City walk into Parliament looking like a victim of rogue officials, instead of answering for its own political failures. The facts are in the government's own briefing to Parliament. Slide 26 records that in February 2026, the Department of Water and Sanitation issued a non-compliance letter on the Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Works. In March 2026, the City submitted an action plan with clear commitments: secure treatment chemicals, refurbish filters, install pumps, and recruit for critical posts. The department's finding is blunt: none of these commitments were implemented in the timeframes provided. So we ask, who is responsible for filling those posts? Recruitment sits with Corporate and Shared Services and the MMC responsible is from ActionSA. In March 2026, that portfolio was led by ActionSA's Kholofelo Morodi, who was then fired over corruption allegations raised at the Madlanga Commission. Since April it has been led by another ActionSA MMC, Flora Monama. For seven months, the portfolio responsible for staffing the City has been in ActionSA's hands. The posts were not filled, and the plant was left without the qualified process controllers that DWS says it needs. #EFFInGovernment
