The main opposition party is launching its manifesto virtually on Saturday ahead of 1 November local government elections.
“They don’t deliver services, they don’t tick any of the five objectives of local government set out in the Constitution, they no longer provide water, sewage runs down the streets, some of the mayors don’t live in the towns where they are mayors anymore, and the terrible desertion of infrastructure where the community has to step in and fix the water treatment works and sewage.”The DA acknowledges that where it does govern, it wants to do better, Steenhuisen said.
“Our manifesto makes a problem statement and shows what we have done in similar situations where we govern. We are focusing on a solutions-oriented future focused manifesto for change in the municipalities. Even where we do govern, we want to do better.”“The excellent advantage which the DA has is that we are not only an opposition party, but we are a party of government. This lends us the opportunity to do a proper evidence based exercise to look at what has worked and what hasn’t,” she said.
