Kannaland’s Crisis is the direct result of ICOSA’s failure to Govern

The Democratic Alliance notes with serious concern the continued collapse of governance and service delivery in Kannaland Municipality under the ICOSA-led independent party coalition are robbing residents of their basic rights and dignity.
Council agendas and official reports confirm what residents experience daily: a municipality in constant crisis mode.
The ICOSA-led Kannaland's failure include:
Water shortages have escalated into a declared local state of disaster;
Basic services are sustained through emergency procurement deviations instead of proper planning, while critical infrastructure continues to fail;
Financial management which is in disarray, with an unfunded budget, a Financial Recovery Plan already in place; and
Growing Eskom-related fruitless expenditure, and persistent irregular expenditure.
These failures are the consequence of weak political leadership, poor oversight, and an inability of ICOSA and its coalition partners to make hard, responsible governing decisions. Instead of stabilising Kannaland, ICOSA has normalised dysfunction, delayed accountability, and presided over institutional decay.
Residents are paying the price through an unreliable water supply, deteriorating services, and a municipality lurching from one emergency to the next without a credible recovery path.
The Democratic Alliance remains committed to principled governance, financial discipline, and service delivery that works. Kannaland deserves competent leadership that plans, prioritises residents' needs, and restores trust in local government.
