DA leader John Steenhuisen said that in the coming weeks, councillors would meet stakeholders in their wards to discuss service delivery and safety issues, in an effort to better protect the communities.
"But just as important, we need to pick up the pieces in these damaged communities and bring people together around the task of putting broken buildings, businesses and lives back together again.""Already the DA, through its leadership and councillors, has been at the forefront of this effort to safeguard threatened communities and clean up the mess.
The meetings aim to bring together traditional leaders, religious leaders, neighbourhood watches, ratepayers associations, community policing forums and any other significant voices of leadership in the communities. On the agenda will be service delivery steps that must be taken to improve safety, as well as discussions around ways to strengthen social cohesion and stamp out the poisonous narrative of racial scapegoating.
