READER LETTER | The ANC has simply abandoned any pretence of fixing dysfunctional municipalities.
Residents of Lichtenburg are forced to buy water, live with constant power cuts, no refuse removal, drive on roads with potholes and regular sewerage spills. The writer says the plight of communities calling for basic services seem to have fallen on deaf ears.After bankrupting and collapsing a number of municipalities across the country, the ANC’s answer for this coming local government election is to propose the construction of a new"smart city" on the KZN South Coast.
With the local government elections just a few weeks away, South Africans have an opportunity to remind the ANC that this election is about getting the basics right. The DA is the only party with a record in government that is able to restore their dignity, which has been forever trampled on by the ANC’s poor service delivery.
