In August 2019, Cabinet approved the District Development Model to address weaknesses in service delivery, planning, budgeting & implementation in local government. Its primary purpose is to narrow the distance between the people and their government. https://t.co/n8qZONOJj8 — PolitiTweet.org

Local Government is too important to our people and their lives, to our developmental objectives and to the very future of this country. https://t.co/VhKppJQTEk — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We cannot have municipalities that are so dysfunctional that people feel they must resort to violence to be heard. We simply cannot afford local government to fail. https://t.co/AaWSVwqTZV — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Coupled with institutional weaknesses like corruption and nepotism, many of our municipalities are facing a crisis of credibility. We cannot allow the widespread governance failures in municipalities to continue. https://t.co/VhKppJQTEk — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Many of the challenges facing our municipalities are inherited. Among them are massive backlogs in basic services, deep inequality, weak revenue bases, rising demand for services and the devolution of several new powers & functions to local government. https://t.co/iGjreaUK8I — PolitiTweet.org

For the 2018/2019 financial year, only 20 of the country’s 257 municipalities got clean audits. This is less than 8%. https://t.co/VhKppJQTEk — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
A measure of the extent of these challenges are the poor municipal audit outcomes. The latest report from the Auditor-General points to serious lapses of governance and financial management in our municipalities. https://t.co/VhKppJQTEk — PolitiTweet.org

The provision of services has, over the course of 20 years, lifted millions of people out of poverty and enabled them to enjoy an improving quality of life. But local government also faces a number of very serious challenges. https://t.co/FOwf8RK4f2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There are schools, libraries and clinics where there once were none. Communities have sanitation and clean drinking water where they were once forced to fend for themselves. Homes have been electrified and streets have been paved. https://t.co/PIIvlw39pj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is undeniable that over the past 20 years local government has been a key driver of development in our communities. Our progress has been substantial, and the quality of life of millions of people has been improved. https://t.co/VhKppJQTEk — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Secondly, what progress have we made in improving the quality of life for our citizens through our local government structures? Thirdly, has local government advanced effective and ethical governance? https://t.co/sJLzt2KwXX — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As we mark 20 years of democratic local government, there are a number of questions we must ask ourselves. Firstly, has local government been effective in overcoming the injustices of the past? https://t.co/USgrRaU6Dr — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As SALGA, you are at the forefront of transforming local government to make it fit for purpose, and to serve our people and meet their needs. Yours is a constitutionally derived mandate to bring development & opportunities to the people of South Africa. https://t.co/VhKppJQTEk — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Local government is the nerve centre of service delivery, of socio-economic development and of driving our efforts to build a truly democratic, integrated, prosperous, non-sexist and non-racial society. https://t.co/0pQ3JI7lct — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are now in the phase of recovery and reconstruction; a phase that will be difficult and long, and will require the utmost effort. https://t.co/t1Ygen1a3i — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
COVID-19 has been a setback for all spheres of governance, and the great task before us is not only to regain lost momentum, but to rebuild with added urgency. https://t.co/VhKppJQTEk — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This crisis has had a devastating impact on human health, on our economy, on livelihoods, on businesses and indeed on service delivery. https://t.co/qFgNjJDXra — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We meet today to reflect on our progress over the last two decades towards the realisation of that mission and to outline the tasks ahead. We are doing so in the midst of a profound crisis brought about by the global coronavirus pandemic. https://t.co/VhKppJQTEk — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Since then, the mission of local government has been – in the words of our Constitution – to “improve the quality of life of all citizens and free the potential of each person”. https://t.co/sKAUVD836m — PolitiTweet.org

It is almost 20 years to the day since we held the first fully representative local government elections in democratic South Africa, on the 5th of December 2000. #InspiringServiceDelivery 🇿🇦 https://t.co/VhKppJQTEk — PolitiTweet.org

In remembering the many lives we have lost to gender-based violence, let us work with urgency and determination for a time when no woman or child should ever again fall victim to violence. #16Days https://t.co/De3a5qJvte — PolitiTweet.org

I want to pay tribute to the men and women of South Africa who support the fight against this scourge in their daily lives; and to the dedicated activists & workers in civil society. You are our valued partners. We will win this war if we work together. https://t.co/3CH3c3nnT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
I once again call on every single South African listening tonight to consider the consequence of their silence. We can only move forward and defeat this evil if we speak up. Gender-based violence has no place in in this country. https://t.co/De3a5qJvte — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Let us support, not discourage, survivors who want to lay charges. Let us believe our children when they tell us they are being abused. Let us take greater care of our own children and those children that are placed in our care. https://t.co/1EpWRYY75k — PolitiTweet.org
