I just want to speculate on the idea that perhaps consensus government could be introduced in cases of municipal management where opposition parties are evenly matched and the majority rule is always in the balance due to the fact that that the ruling party relies on a majority of one vote only.If a member of the ruling party is indicted or dies then a by-election becomes inevitable, and positions could easily be reversed at the next election.

The problems that arise are usually characterised by corruption, indiscriminate expenditure, jobs for family and friends, appointments that cannot be justified by an approved organogram, and a general lack of adhering to provisions of the municipal system's act.
