He was addressing the closing session of the National Council of Provinces in the Ugu District Municipality in southern KwaZulu-Natal.

Members of Parliament spent the week in the province in a bid to take Parliament to the people with the aim of accelerating service delivery for communities in the province. The hearings focussed on various issues such as social services, infrastructure and economic development, agriculture, land reform, rural development, safety and security, and human settlements also featured.

Ramaphosa says a recent audit shows that maladministration, a lack of financial control and corruption are some of the causes of poor service delivery across municipalities. “All of these affect local government’s ability to provide basic services people need to lead lives of quality and dignity that is why we should welcome the new laws we’re putting in place. Laws that are going to enhance accountability. Amongst others, the laws will disallow municipal officials from holding political office, it defines competency criteria for appointments of municipal managers.”
