LOCAL GOVERNMENT: COUNCILLORS' CODE OF CONDUCT IN FORCE
- 15 June 2023
- Local Government
- SA Legal Academy
The draft code of conduct for municipal councillors released in October 2022 for public comment has been finalised and gazetted.
In addition to setting general performance and behaviour-related standards, the code of conduct deals with:
- attendance and voting at meetings
- the procedures to be followed when declaring any gift received over R1000 in value
- the obligations of a municipal manager when a councillor is more than two months in arrears with payments for municipal rates and services, and
- a municipal council speaker’s obligation to report bi-annually on councillors’ compliance with the code.
Immediately effective and falling under the Local Government: Municipal Structures Act, 1998, the new code repeals and replaces regulations in force since May 2001 under the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 2000 – and dealing only with the declaration of gifts.
- code of conduct
- 2001 regulations, now repealed
