DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis has launched a direct attack on the ANC’s record in local government, telling voters that municipal decline is not inevitable and that the DA has already demonstrated that municipalities can be turned around.
Delivering the DA’s manifesto launch speech on Saturday, Hill-Lewis contrasted municipalities governed by the party with areas he described as examples of poor administration, using Johannesburg and Emfuleni as particular targets.
He said the November 4 local government elections would give voters an opportunity to decide who they wanted running their municipalities and whether they were satisfied with the state of services in their communities.
