Cilliers Brink, the Democratic Alliance’s mayoral candidate for Tshwane and former executive mayor, joins Newsday’s Antowan Nothling for a candid conversation about coalition breakdowns, municipal spending and his plans to return to office.
Brink challenges claims that the current administration is fixing his mistakes, criticises spending on water tankers and argues that coalition instability has prevented lasting improvements. He also explains how private companies and organised communities could help restore services without selling municipal assets.
In this interview, we discuss:
• His unfinished business after 18 months as mayor
• The breakdown of his coalition and his dispute with ActionSA
• Claims of secret coalition talks between the DA and ANC
• Water-tanker spending and the impact of neglected infrastructure
• Private-sector involvement in electricity, water, waste and municipal facilities
• Community partnerships, rates relief and appointing skilled professionals
