Accountability, service delivery & vacant positions: Lebogang Maile on state of municipalities

Gauteng co-operative governance and traditional affairs MEC Lebogang Maile briefed media on the state of municipalities on Wednesday.

“Some of these problems are caused by lawlessness which requires law enforcement to step up to the party to stop cable theft and vandalising of the infrastructure. There is also a need for communities to work with us in bringing an end to the crippling problem of illegal connections, which leads to water and electricity outages.”Maile said the estimated amount of money spent on salaries of administrators is about R7.5m.

“We have been able to fix most of the financial issues which were in a bad state by the DA governance. By the time the administrators leave the metro, there will be a surplus of between R1.3bn-R1.5bn.”Maile said the government is assessing the process of filling vacant posts at municipalities and that they are in different stages of been filled. He said some municipalities have advertised the positions.
