Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Sicelo Shiceka is expected to submit a proposal to amend the operations at municipalities when Cabinet meets this week.

The amendments would see the adoption of a new approach to service delivery to involve public participation.

Media reports Shiceka as saying government wants to create a situation where the views of people are taken seriously.

He says municipalities must make sure that they involve public participation on their day-to-day operations.

He added that there were going to be changes in terms of the municipality’s structures and composition.
