Deputy minister encourages continued progress in ELM
VEREENIGING.- The Deputy Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA), Dickson Masemola applauded the leadership of Emfuleni Local Municipality (ELM) for its current approach to governance.
This was during his visit to the recently held successful two-day Emfuleni's Service Delivery and Revenue Summit.
Masemola expressed his admiration for the municipality's commitment to, ' transparency, accountability, and innovation in local governance'.
The summit, held amidst the pressing issues of high unemployment and a struggling revenue collection system, demonstrated ELM's willingness to listen, reflect, and adapt to delivering better services to its residents. Masemola urged ELM to remain on this promising path, emphasising that such governance practices are vital to restoring trust, improving service delivery, and ultimately transforming communities.
With the summit, ELM said that it chose to challenge itself by bringing together different members of the society including industry leaders, professionals, academics, subject matter experts, civil society, and religious figures, alongside community representatives.
