tweets from the webinar
1) interventions come to late
2) sections are interpreted wrongly
3) administrators are used incorrectly
: The law and the Constitution refers instead to “interdependent spheres of government”. Province has the responsibility to correctly diagnose the problem. If provinces fail to initiate interventions, @TreasuryRSA is obliged to intervene but they have not done so.
