Opposition parties have expressed their concerns at the near-collapse of municipalities in the North West, which they say was a direct result of ANC political interference and factional battles.

These concerns came out through motions without notices during a provincial legislature sitting on Tuesday, where the ANC was challenged to get its house in order at local government. This follows the recent recalling of troikas – mayors, speakers and chief whips – in five municipalities across the province.

The ANC said it was recalling them on the basis of poor performances of their municipalities in terms of service delivery and administration, but other quarters of the ANC in the province felt that those at the helm of the worst municipalities had been left untouched by the party’s interim provincial committee led by Hlomane Chauke because of factional reasons.

Oppositions parties said all these frictions within the governing party were having a negative impact on service delivery in municipalities. “It is not the business of the EFF to be concerned about internal matters of the ruling party, but when municipal buildings are blocked, we will speak as a party because it means communities can’t access services. Where violence becomes endemic in municipalities, we will raise our voices because it means our people end up being casualties of war,” Kerileng said.

The DA in the North West said they were not going to be part of the councils where the ANC would use its caucus to remove their members from positions of deployment through motions. The ANC IPC have previously told City Press that the party will use its caucuses to remove those who continue to be defiant through motions in council.

Only corruption is bigger than the ANC | CitypressOPINION | While it is true that the ANC has its own separate legal personality, using this to excuse senior leaders from being held to account is a disgrace. Even worse, flying the ANC flag in response to allegations of corruption, writes Lehumo Sejaphala As South Africans we don't worry much about that flag, as it is drapped with corruption. What worries us however, is the double standard of seeking to hold citizens accountable while they are not accountable in their own backyard. That's a contradiction. ANC is so disappointing 😞it’s undefendable I am sure ANC it’s out Mother
