Media Statement 15 July 2014 (for immediate release) Limpopo Administrator overstayed his welcome The ANC Youth League in Limpopo joins dozens of citizens in calling for the Section 100 (b) to be uplifted with immediate effect. We have recently learnt that the Administrator, Mr. Monde Tom is becoming pompous and too big for his shoes as he continues to undermine the democratically elected leadership of the Province.Reports that the Administrator declined an official invitation by Premier Stan Mathabatha to attend a briefing with MECs whose Depts are affected by Section 100 (b) of the Constitution of the Republic, is a demonstration of sheer disregard of authority and purports Mr Tom as reporting to himself.Like any other project being carried out, the Section 100 (b) programme should have timeframes with specific deliverables. To date, the Administrator has not been able to provide the Provincial leadership with progress regarding his intervention; and if there are any particular achievements regarding the Provincial Purse, despite negative reports that provision of food for patients in most hospitals have been adversely affected. We also want to put it on record that the Administrator should not obfuscate his stay in the Province, like a political mandate bestowed to him by the masses of the voters in Limpopo - Mr. Tom is not the Premier of Limpopo. It defies logic, on how Mr. Tom should not respect an invitation by the Premier of a Province that he has been deployed to assist. It is mandatory for him to brief both the Premier and Cabinet of any progress that has been made in the past 30 months that he has been in Limpopo. We also suspect that the Administrator might be painting a disastrous picture to Cabinet, in a bid to continue staying comfortably in the Province at the taxpayers expense. The truth is, Mr. Toms stay in the Province cannot be infinite and he should not be overzealous about his secondment - he must leave. End. Issued by ANC Youth League Limpopo PTT
