Mantashe blasts 'singing councillors' as service delivery crumbles

ANC National Chairperson Gwede Mantashe took aim at his party's council members at the FNB stadium in Gauteng, saying that while they are good at singing and creating noise, they are not good at managing councils.

“IT know we have a lot of singing councillors but we have no councils. You all sing well but capacity dololo (nothing),” he told a rowdy crowd.

Mantashe said this was the kind of leadership that the roll call was made for.

“That is the council we are haying. Comrades who are councillors, leaders of the ANC, who make noise when a meeting is underway. What kind of leadership is that?”
