President Cyril Ramaphosa has implored African National Congress (ANC) National Executive Committee (NEC) members to take bold steps to end corruption and mismanagement at the local sphere of government.
He was speaking at the party’s Special NEC meeting called to discuss the challenges facing the government and how to intervene to solve those challenges.
The two-day meeting held in Boksburg, Johannesburg, is attended by several mayors from ANC-led metros and their MMCs.

Ramaphosa said all the failures at the municipal level are often feeding into the perception that the ANC is failing.
“All too regularly corruption, mismanagement and outrageous lack of consequence management and accountability allow dysfunctionality to continue with impunity, thus prolonging the suffering of our people living in affected communities. Now this must end, and this NEC must take bold decisions on how we are going to address this. This failure at the local government level feeds into a narrative about a failing and declining ANC and thus provides further ammunition for our detractors,” he says.
