No urgency in dealing with ANC NW issues: SACP

Reading Time: < 1 minute

African National Congress (ANC) alliance partners in the North West say the leadership of the governing party is not acting with enough speed in addressing the problems of the province.

They say the Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) is self-serving, with 18 members deployed as mayors, while the rest are MEC’s and senior government officials.

The alliance partners say the release of the Auditor-General’s report which revealed all 22 municipalities are collapsing is an indictment on the PEC.

The municipalities incurred a combined R4-billion of irregular expenditure, making them the second worst after the Eastern Cape municipalities.

South African Communist Party (SACP) Provincial Deputy Secretary Nick Mphahlele says: “We are actually concerned by the snail pace of the national leadership in terms of dealing with the situation in the North West. Supra has been removed but that is step number one. The real step in terms of dealing with the mess created by the man has not begun in earnest.”
