A newly formed civic movement, Arona, which is contesting 10 of the 45 wards in Rustenburg in the North West says it’s time for communities to take full control of their municipalities, so they can accelerate the delivery of services.
The organisation is also eyeing PR seats in the Moses Kotane, Madibeng and Kgetleng River Local Municipalities, which form part of Bojanala District.
It held its campaign in Tsitsing outside Rustenburg.
Coordinator of the movement Olga Chauke says the bigger political parties have failed residents dismally.
“We have decided that it is important and imperative that we have local representation and an organization that is local, that would deal with local issues. For example, we are saying, we do not want to see our councillors reporting in an organization in Gauteng or in Tshwane, wherever. So, that is why Arona was established,” says Chauke.
