A must read report

National State of Local Government
Assessments
Working Documents
COGTA 2009

The basic premise of the report is that “Local Government is Everyone’s Business”.

Whilst all of the support programmes have assisted in specific ways, it is still clear that a number of stubborn service delivery and governance problems have been identified in municipalities over a number of years. These remain consistently at the forefront of government’s developmental challenges. These priority areas include:

  • Huge service delivery and backlog challenges, e.g. housing, water and sanitation;
  • Poor communication and accountability relationships with communities;
  • Problems with the political administrative interface;
  • Corruption and fraud;
  • Poor financial management, e.g. negative audit opinions;
  • Number of (violent) service delivery protests;
  • Weak civil society formations;
  • Intra - and inter-political party issues negatively affecting governance and delivery; and
  • Insufficient municipal capacity due to lack of scarce skills.
