The District Development Model aims to improve coordination between national, provincial and local governments, and between government and its social partners. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In the State of the Nation Address, I reiterated our commitment to the District Development Model to grow local economies, create jobs and deliver services better and faster. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Citizens who are not able to pay must register as an indigent, explain their circumstances so that they can qualify for access to free services. This is provided for in our budget. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This conference should make a call to all who use municipal services – beginning with government entities – to lead by example and ensure that their municipal accounts are paid. We should always insist on payment. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We should encourage good citizenship and promote a culture of payment for services. We must explain to our people why it is necessary to pay. If we cannot increase revenue collection, we cannot run sustainable municipalities. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In line with the campaign led by the Deputy President known as Responsible Citizenry, we must urge consumers of municipal services to pay for what they receive. Our people want value for money. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
To deliver on their responsibilities, municipalities must address poor revenue collection. Municipalities are owed billions by businesses, government entities and households for services rendered. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Our people will no longer accept poor performance, they want things done correctly and truthfully. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The Municipal Structures Amendment Act, which came into effect on the 1st of November 2021, introduces an enforceable revised Code of Conduct for councillors. This Code introduces consequences for those who do not uphold and adhere to it. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
If we don’t do things transparently, particularly with public funds, we are likely to be suspected to do things incorrectly. We must always strive to act in a transparent manner, to the last cent. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This calls for decisive leadership and accountability. We must focus on building municipalities that are sustainable, efficient and free of corruption. Our people abhor corruption, because it benefits a few. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As leaders across government, we have to work with all stakeholders in municipalities to deliver a better life to our communities. Working with communities means we stay connected with our people. Even where we experience difficulty, we must explain. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The actions we take as leaders are seen by others and if they manifest themselves in a climate that is not conducive for investment, there will be no investment. https://t.co/I6N23HbBPH — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
By providing reliable water supply, sanitation, energy and refuse services, and through road and infrastructure maintenance, local government enables our economy to grow and create employment. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Local government is where you can make the biggest difference in the lives of our people. Local government is the most important enabler of economic growth and development. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have the means to correct this problem. Much of this responsibility is carried by the newly-elected councillors and by the municipal officials with which they will be working. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The challenges in municipalities do not only affect the lives of communities. They damage both local economies and the South African economy. This need not be the case. https://t.co/gM46PPXYG8 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Many residents have lost faith in the ability of local government to meet their needs. So too have many investors. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
By June last year, some 26 municipalities had been placed under administration. This number has now risen to 31 municipalities under administration. We continue to hear about municipalities under threat of administration. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Some 64 municipalities are considered to be dysfunctional. This dysfunction is rooted in poor governance, weak institutional capacity, poor financial management, corruption and political instability. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
A report prepared by the Department of Cooperative Governance in June last year noted than only five per cent of our country’s municipalities were financially stable. Others are in financial distress, with insufficient revenue to meet their expenses. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
However, we should be concerned about the low voter turnout across the country and what this says about voters’ experiences of local government. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Three months ago we held local government elections, in which the people of South Africa once again exercised their democratic rights freely and fairly. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Municipalities are the first point of contact between government and the people. When there are local government failures, the effects are felt immediately and they are far-reaching. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The task before us now is to consolidate these gains, to deepen them and to ensure that we realise the aspirations of the South African people. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have come together as mayors, councilors, local government representatives and representatives of provincial and national government because we share a common determination to fundamentally improve the lives of citizens. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This national conference will be electing new leadership, reviewing and strengthening SALGA’s systems and processes, and adopting a new organisational strategy for the next five years. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
And for 25 years, SALGA has performed a critical role in supporting our municipalities and championing the needs of communities across the country. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Thank you for the opportunity to address this National Conference of the South African Local Government Association. It is 25 years since SALGA was formed. https://t.co/YreW8WdyO2 — PolitiTweet.org
