South Africa: Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) Chairperson Concerned by Closure of Emfuleni Local Municipality Client Service Centre
The Chairperson of the Select Committee on Cooperative Governance and Public Administration (Traditional Affairs, Human Settlements and Water&Sanitation), Mr Mxolisi Kaunda, is concerned by reports of the closure of the Emfuleni Local Municipality client service centre due to unpaid rent. 'The closure of the client service centre negatively impacts the ability of the municipality to collect rates and taxes, a key driver of municipal revenue. The inability to collect revenue will have an unintended negative impact on the ability to deliver quality services to the people,' Mr Kaunda said. The 6th Parliament select committee visited the municipality and criticised the lack of progress in resolving material risks of governance and financial control within the municipality, which exacerbate the already dire state of poor service delivery. Furthermore, the continued attachment of the municipality's bank accounts by service providers, such as Eskom and Rand Water, due to non-payment for services requires a focused and deadline-driven approach. 'While it is not sustainable that the accounts of the municipality are attached, it is also unsustainable that the municipality does not pay for services. The residents of the municipality deserve better basic services in line with the objects of municipalities as envisioned in Section 152 of the Constitution,' Mr Kaunda suggested. The Chairperson also highlighted the importance of government departments paying the municipality for services to improve cash flow management and enable the municipality to provide services. The Chairperson called on the municipality and the provincial executive to find a workable solution to ensure that the client service centre is reopened and that service providers are paid on time.

The Minister announced the concurrent development of regional sewage treatment plants to service multiple housing estates, including this project, aligning with the nation's comprehensive infrastructure agenda for sustainable development. His Excellency Mr. Ahmed Saeed Alneyadi emphasized that the project "represents a significant milestone in the United Arab Emirates' commitment to providing quality housing for Seychellois citizens and fostering community growth. This grant transcends mere financial investment, it exemplifies the enduring friendship and solidarity between Seychelles and the UAE." President Ramkalawan conveyed his appreciation and satisfaction with the project's progress, noting it as one of three generous initiatives from the UAE government, alongside the English River rehabilitation project and the Anse Royale Sports Complex. "Let this village become a source of pride and cultivate a sense of community that enables our people to flourish," the President declared. National Assembly Member for Grand Anse Mahé District, Mr. Waven William, urged prospective beneficiaries to maintain consistent payment schedules to secure housing allocation. He encouraged current residents to preserve their properties through proper maintenance and foster harmonious neighborhood relations. William advocated for revised housing agreements reflecting contemporary realities, permitting homeowners to undertake repairs while preserving structural integrity, and called for proactive enforcement measures to maintain community standards.
