Experts say ANC’s plans require action ‘not more talk’
Cape Argus
|January 27, 2026
LOCAL government experts have welcomed the ANC's bold plans to strengthen service delivery at the local government level but say the strategy will not work if plans are only spoken about and not executed.
The party announced new plans to deal with service delivery at its the NEC Lekgotla gathering in Boksburg at the weekend.
However, the experts have cautioned against the party going it all alone and without the involvement of members of the Government of National Unity (GNU) and other stakeholders who have a say at the local government level.
President Cyril Ramaphosa, speaking on the opening day of the ANC National Executive Committee (NEC) Lekgotla, pledged the party's commitment to local governance as they gear up for the 2026 local government elections. This commitment follows the alarming findings from the Auditor General, which highlighted significant challenges facing local municipalities.
