There is nothing more noble than the people, more dignified, and more intelligent than the people-President Sekou Toure >>> "Tuis Dumisani" <[email protected]> 2009/07/24 10:50 AM >>> Municipalities have intergrated development plans which are suppose to be guiding them on what to do and those plans are suppose to be informed by the needs of the people. They are also required by the systems act to review the plans annually in consultation with the communities but if that is really happening its another question. In most of the districts municipalities, if not even all we have an office called performance, implementation, monitoring service centres that are there to capacitate and assist Municipalities but the question will be are they use effectively or are they effective in assisting the Municipalities? We cannot be talking about capacity from day one up until the end of term cause I believe our councilors are capacitated enough as they are in most of the time not available attending workshops. But the question again that I might be asking myself is: are they learning in those workshops or it’s just an outing but also the follow-up evaluation of the effectiveness of the trainings its something that I think its lacking.

There should be a Provincial meetings of all Municipalities on each Province three times a year where they are going to monitor progress of each Municipalities and made them to account. One area that we are forgetting to touch on is the issue of capacity/capability, the literacy level of some of our Councillors is questionable. The issue of Induction Training for them before they resume office needs to be taken into considerations also. Cde Dumisani you raised an important issue of meetings/report-back, Councillors should know that communication is the best policy and they should not promise communities something they can`t achieve/deliver. If all these is done, the issue of service delivery will be a thing of the past.

In our local government election manifesto we made a commitment that councilors with meet with the people atleast every month to brief them about any developments in the Municipality and the councilors then made a commitment to the movement and the people. But if you look in most of the Municipalities councilors meets with the people once in year if they are fortunate or when there is a crisis like the protests then you will see them On the other hand as the structures of the movement we have also abandoned our responsibilities to play the oversight r ole on the councilors and the Municipalities. In other areas you find it very pathetic where the Mayor have to report to the Municipal Manager or officials and have to please the officials when he/ she needs something and it was suppose to be vise versa. Infrastructure development it’s a mistry in our communities, our government have invested a lot on infrastructure development but some of our Municipalities are failing to utilize the money effectively. I think it is correct that a thorough audit should be done of all ANC led municipalities and we should not leave any stone untouched and moved very fast to correct what ever is wrong. What happened to project consolidate? That was a brilliant idea to rescue out Municipalities. Let’s take decisive actions now in order to ensure victory in 2011 elections cause the third force is busy making our areas ungovernable.

I wonder how conversant are we with the entire nature of these protests. Comrades I would like us to engage on this very pertinent matter before it elevates itself to another levels. The ANCYL has made a call for ANC leaders in all govt spheres to visit affected communities in order to understand people's concerns - this needs to be applauded! However, a question that is lingering is the one that says, as true revolutionaries how do should we respond? Let's engage!
