The Congress of the People has
raised its concerns regarding recent violent protests in the country.
Cope’s Spokesperson Dennis
Bloem says the reason for the municipalities finding themselves in this
situation where people are protesting for basic service delivery is that people
are not paying for rates and taxes.
Bloem says to rescue this
crisis is the de-politicisation of local government.
“What is needed is the appointment
of qualified professionals to run the administration of municipalities that an
open and transparent staff recruitment’ Bloem added.
