President Cyril Ramaphosa has decried the poor state of local government in SA, saying some municipalities are facing a crisis of credibility with residents.

“Coupled with institutional weaknesses, like corruption and nepotism, many of our municipalities are facing a crisis of credibility and believability by our people,” said Ramaphosa.

Ramaphosa was addressing the opening of the SA Local Government Association national members assembly. “We cannot have municipalities that are so dysfunctional that people feel they must resort to violence to be heard. We simply cannot afford for local government to fail because when local government fails, provincial government fails and ultimately the national government fails, it is too important to our people and their lives,” he said.“We must all admit that local government, while it has done a lot of things to benefit our people, it also faces a number of very serious challenges.

Shame, here’s his answer: VoetsekANC

Mr president, in case you haven't noticed yet, most of the municipalities have already failed, local government has in most cases failed the people and so has central government failed the population, we are rated junk status so the country has failed

He has clearly been in a deep coma for the last 26 years.

He really doesn't have a fucking clue, does he? NoConfidenceInCyril

He must be specific to the citizens,we are where we are today because of his corrupt people bt anyway “motho emong le emong ke lekgoba la ntho ya eratang” case closed🤫
