President Cyril Ramaphosa says pressure will be put on municipalities to improve their revenue collection programmes. ECRNewsWatch CyrilRamaphosa

In his weekly newsletter, the president said South Africans deserve local governments that are willing to serve them and to ‘uphold their right to dignity’.

She released the Municipal Audit Outcomes for 2021/2022, where only 38 out of 257 municipalities in South Africa achieved clean audits.“The PCC recommended that the National Treasury and the Department of Cooperative Governance should develop measures to further support and strengthen municipal revenue collection systems with urgency.

Local government provides the infrastructure and services that help improve people’s livelihoods. All spheres of government must therefore work together to ensure that municipalities are able to fulfil their responsibilities. The Council was presented with proposals on local government reform and improving intergovernmental coordination in the critical areas of electricity distribution, water and sanitation services, waste management and roads.

A number of municipalities state that they do not have sufficient funds to implement programmes and projects. This is often the case because they are not able to collect revenue for key services like water and electricity.
