READER LETTER | The ANC has been in power for 27 years. Its performance has been nothing but dismal. Local government is in total disarray. Service delivery is compromised. And comrades are concerned about eating rather than delivering.
In the North West, local government exists only in name. There is a municipal council that has two mayors, two municipal managers and two chief financial officers. They are all getting paid. And the ANC has done absolutely nothing to correct the situation.
A few weeks ago, President Cyril Ramaphosa visited Tembisa on his campaign trail. Residents told him they have been without electricity for more than six months. Some of the elderly who are sick use machines to breathe. The lack of electricity exacerbates their conditions. Clearly, the governing party has failed to deliver services to the downtrodden. Instead, it has worsened the conditions of the poor masses, which is contrary to what it promised. And voters are not happy at all about the governing ANC's poor service delivery.
