Voorsitter, ek wil vir die Minister s dat ek dink as daar een ding is wat die mense van Suid-Afrika verwelkom, is dit dat daar behoorlike monitering en evaluering gaan wees van dienslewering.
Ek wil vir die agb Minister s dat hy eintlik 'n verrassing gaan kry, want hy gaan by party plekke wil evaluering doen en dan gaan hy agterkom dat daar niks is om te evalueer of te monitor nie, want daar is nie dienslewering nie.
Ek wil ook vir die agb Minister s dat ons daadwerklik sal moet kyk dat hierdie inisiatief tande het. Dit help nie die agb President Zuma, bring 'n verrassingsbesoek aan 'n munisipaliteit van die burgemeester wat vroeg geloop het, en dan kom die agb Minister op televisie en s daar is nie opgetree teen die burgemeester nie, want niemand het 'n klag gel nie. Minister, u moet nie wag dat daar 'n klag gel word nie, u moet optree. (Translation of Afrikaans paragraphs follows.)
[Mr P J GROENEWALD: Chairperson, I want to say to the Minister that if there is one thing that the people of South Africa would welcome, it would be the proper monitoring and evaluation of service delivery.
I want to say to the hon Minister that he will really be surprised when he does evaluation at some places and will then realise that there is nothing to evaluate or to monitor because service delivery is nonexistent.
I also want to say to the Minister that we will really have to see to it that this initiative has the teeth. It doesn't help if the hon President Zuma pays a surprise visit to a municipality where the mayor has left early, after which the hon Minister announces on television that no steps were taken against this mayor because nobody has lodged a complaint. Minister, you should not wait for a complaint to be lodged, you should act.]
To ensure success, you have to be proactive not only reactive. I thank you.
