Head of the ANC national electoral committee Kgalema Motlanthe says the party’s decision to shake up its candidate selection processes for the upcoming local polls will result in quality leadership and efficient municipalities and tackle corruption.
Motlanthe said there was an impression that local government was less important and needed to be done away with because several countries had proved otherwise.
On internal violence within the ruling party ahead of and during polls, Motlanthe blamed skyrocketing unemployment.
