GOOD Statement by Matthew Cook ,
GOOD National Chairperson and City of Johannesburg Councillor
4 December 2024
The GOOD Party has noted the Gauteng High Court judgment that Floyd Brink’s appointment as Johannesburg city manager was irregular.
The court has given Brink 10 days to vacate his office but as GOOD we call on a suitable replacement acting city manager to be appointed speedily, so Brink can stand down immediately.
This judgment once again reaffirms the view that no one is above the law.
It sends a clear warning to the government that appointments must follow procedure.
People should be fit for purpose and not deployed through back-door deals.
The cost order, adds insult to injury, public funds are being used to defend the city’s poor decision-making.
Our once-thriving city is on the brink of collapse, we call on the ANC, EFF, ActionSA and PA coalition to put political battles aside and rather focus their energy on service delivery.
