President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed Dlamini-Zuma as Cogta minister, with Tau and Obed Bapela as her deputies.
The SA Municipal Workers Union welcomed the appointment of Nkosazana-Dlamini Zuma as the minister for cooperative governance and traditional affairs .
Ramotlou said first on the agenda of Cogta should be to ensure that the department intervenes in the Amahlathi municipality in the Eastern Cape which has written to workers informing them that they will not be paid their salaries for May and June, indicating that the next time municipal workers receive their salaries will be the end of July 2019.
“We are interested in seeing municipalities which are functional and fulfilling their constitutional mandate of delivering services to South Africans. We will, therefore, be writing to the new minister seeking a meeting on the state of the country’s municipalities and providing solutions on how they can be salvaged in the interest of service delivery for all South Africans.”
“Municipalities are expected to deliver services to almost 60 million South Africans on less than 10 percent of government expenditure. This has resulted in the challenges which we see in municipalities, challenges which are financial in nature.”
