I hereby give notice that in the next sitting of the Council, I shall move on behalf of the African National Congress that the Council: –

1. Debates the professionalisation of local government as mechanisms to improve the capacity of local government institutions and the delivery of quality services to communities;
2. Acknowledges that despite several interventions to strengthen the capacity of municipalities and the establishment of an inter-ministerial committee to tackle underperformance and prioritise interventions to address municipal debt, as well as payments to water boards and Eskom, South Africa is still faced with the sad reality of a decline in municipal governance, with only 34 of the country’s 257 municipalities receiving clean audits in the 2022-23 financial year.

I so move!
