Ramaphosa says he’s been informed how this manifests through everything in municipalities being outsourced to certain interest groups. He added that while the focus is on state capture, real capture is happening at local government.
“I was told there is one such municipality that is rumoured top 6, that is paid tens of millions every month and they then manage the sub-contractors, who they pay or not pay for the various functions. That leads to the municipality overpaying, continuing paying for employees not doing the work, but overpaying for services that for the most part are either poorly delivered and not delivered at all while just a few continue to be enriched,” says Ramaphosa.
The poor-performing Amathole District Municipality in the Eastern Cape was in the spotlight. It’s been receiving negative audit outcomes and at times failing to pay salaries. Its new mayor believes he has a plan to turn the situation around.
Why does he always tell us something we already know 🙄
You also a lack if service delivery
