He made the remarks at an official event commemorating Human Rights Day in De Aar in the Northern Cape on Tuesday.
Ramaphosa said as the government works to resuscitate failing municipalities officials caught stealing state funds will find themselves behind bars. "We know that people who work in municipalities are lazy and are stealing the money set aside for projects." "We are aware of it and we say as a government we will fix the issue. Those who steal the money, we will make sure that they get arrested", he said.
“Those who are not prepared to work and serve the people, we say they must go. All our people must be well served. Because you know today is Human Rights Day, just these services, and I do want everyone who works to serve our people we are violating our human rights of our people."
