#CitizensCorner: Climate Change and what we can expect for the summer

Miyelani Holeni our regular expert on issues pertaining to municipalities joins us for the last time for 2024 taking a look at legislation governing local government. In August this year, Auditor General Tsakani Maluleke revealed that only 34 of South Africa’s 257 municipalities have obtained clean bills of health. Not much has changed regarding legislation, but the ministry governing municipalities is now in the hands of the IFP under the Government of National Unity. The province of KwaZulu-Natal on the other hand is looking at bringing traditional leaders into municipalities for them to have a say in an effort to improve service delivery. As far as our guest is concerned, which legislation would he say should be improved and what will it take seeing how badly municipalities are still run?
