The main internal stakeholders the Delegation interacted with in the Municipality included the Speaker, Mayor, Chief Whip, Ward Committee Members and Councillors. Since the Administrator was in Bloemfontein, he delegated the Acting Municipal Manager to table his progress report on his behalf. The main external stakeholders the delegation interacted included members of the community forums and non- governmental organization. 6.2 For the purpose of this report, the submissions made by both internal and external stakeholders are structured based on the five key performance areas of local government which are: Municipal Transformation; Basic Service Delivery; Local Economic Development; Municipal Financial Viability and Management as well as Good Governance and Public Participation.
