Cabinet has approved the Inter-Ministerial Task Team’s (IMTT) recommendation to withdraw direct interventions in the North West by the end of the 2020/21 financial year. The IMTT intervened in the North West under section 100(1)(b) of the Constitution in May 2018. Under Section 100 of the Constitution, national government can intervene in the functioning of provincial departments when a province fails to fulfil, or cannot fulfil, its functions. Interventions can be based on, among other things, concerns over service delivery or the financial management of provinces. –.[SAnews.gov.za]
