Guess The Speaker
Read the following quotes from this article (no peeking) and try and guess who is the subject.
Western Cape municipalities should be cautious when changing the political leadership of their councils.
...
“Service delivery is very important. A previous mayor may have had a particular leadership style or set a specific tone, but, if that person leaves, the council could immediately lose momentum when someone else comes with a new approach.”
If you guessed Richard Diyanti, who had previously tried to “stabilise” the Cape Town DA led coalition by changing the form of municipal government and removing Mayor Helen Zille from any practical power, then give yourself a round of applause.
And to add insult to injury read this final quote:
If we did not have provincial government supporting municipalities, intervening and monitoring them, you would have a mess.
Why those municipalities are like little kids totally unable to control themselves. If it wasn’t for us responsible parents here at provincial government it would be chaos! CHAOS!
