Hon Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting of the Council I shall move on behalf of the ANC:
That the Council -
1) notes with concern the recent developments within municipalities, especially the Performance Audit Report of municipalities as released by the Auditor-General. According to this report, only 18 municipalities out of 257 got clean audits;
2) believes that there is a correlation between the decline and the deterioration in the quality of basic services to our people;
3) calls upon the Council to prioritise the development of integrated systems to ensure the monitoring of the performance of municipalities in the coming period; and
4) further calls upon the Minister of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs to introduce performance management systems for all the elected public office bearers in the municipalities as a matter of utmost urgency.
I so move.
