Chairperson, hon Minister, we all want to see clean cities and towns and, indeed, we want to live in clean cities and towns. However, I agree fully with your statement that you have to crack the whip. You have to crack the whip!
If you look at local municipalities, and if you want to enhance and raise the levels of service delivery, you need to deal with incompetence, lack of skills and people who are just filling the space.
Hon Minister, the Minority Front welcomes your noble intention and is hopeful that we will come back to this very same podium and address the challenges that you have achieved by then. We want to point out that it is absolutely imperative, and important, that you put in place a monitoring mechanism to deal with the accounting officers who are dealing with municipalities' financial matters and don't have the necessary skills and capabilities. Thank you. [Applause.]
