The South African Municipal Workers Union
has welcomed the appointment of both Minister Lechesa Tsenoli and Deputy
Minister Andries Nel to the Department of Cooperative Governance and
Traditional Affairs.
Samwu’s Tahir Sema said both Minister Tsenoli
and Deputy Nel need to be aware of the many challenges that face the local
government especially the crisis of accountability, corruption, service
delivery and demoralization.
Sema said that they are inviting the
Minister and his team to a meeting to brief them on the dire state of local
government and they are expected to intervene to ensure that the local
government works properly.
“There are also outstanding disputes in the
sector and we are expecting them to intervene in these matters urgently,” added
Sema.
He also said that if they do not intervene
they can expect nation strike action to take place.
