The troubled Mangaung Metro in the Free State is currently operating without permanent administrative and political leadership.
Opposition parties in the council are concerned that the lack of leadership is affecting service delivery.
“So it’s a crisis, so service delivery is at an all-time low it’s actually at a standstill. We went to HRC yesterday and we gave them almost 130 sewage complaints that have not been looked at. So we are really worried at this stage.”“Because of this political will or non-political will. It also creates a situation in that we don’t have any permanent senior staff members that were appointed. It was advertised last year but the time has lapsed and again advertised now.
Free State African National Congress Chairperson, Mxolisi Dukwana says the process of finalising the placement of the political leadership is said to be underway.

Free and Fair Elections in Zimbabwe? Scepticism Rises ...Zimbabwe will hold elections this year, and concerns have already been raised about the impartiality of the electoral commission. Political analysts have raised the alarm after changes at the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), warning that if not managed correctly, it could have an impact on the standard of this year's polls. The commission has announced that Chairperson Justice Priscilla Chigumba, her deputy Rodney Kiwa and Chief Elections Officer Utoile Silaigwana will be solely responsible for ZEC's communication affairs, a development that has raised eyebrows, with some questioning the timing of the changes. According to Afrobarometer, young Zimbabweans are less likely than their elders to vote, possibly because their experience has taught them that polls are not an effective way to get the government to serve their needs. The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission has yet to announce the exact date for the vote, but it has revealed that it would be held in either July or August 2023. The main political parties for the 2023 elections remain the Zanu-PF, which has been in power since independence in 1980, and the opposition Citizens Coalition For Change, formed in 2022 and led by Nelson Chamisa.
