\u2018n Inisiatief deur die parlement om \u2018n Cogta-kommittee as toesigmodel vir munisipaliteite in die Vrystaat aan te stel is deur Vrystaat Landbou (VL) verwelkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vrystaat Landbou het in \u2018n verklaring op Vrydag 1 Augustus ges\u00ea landbougemeenskappe die meeste blootgestel is aan die gevolge van munisipale ineenstorting. Volgens hulle kan sakeondernemings en selfs inwoners ander heenkome vind om die voortslepende uitdagings hok te slaan, maar dat die landbousektor ongelukkig gekoppel is aan hul geografiese ligging. Daarom is die landbousektor hoogs afhanklik van \u2018n funksionerende plaaslike regering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gebrekkige dienslewering en infrastruktuur wat nie onderhou word nie, kniehalter die landbousektor en plaas ook hewige druk op ekonomiese lewensvatbaarheid en vererger armoede.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friedl von Maltitz, Vise-president van Vrystaat Landbou (VL,) s\u00ea die organisasie verwelkom die COGTA-komitee as nuwe toesigmodel vir munisipaliteite, en hoop dat dit meer druk op die munsipalteite sal plaas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die parlement se aankondiging om die komitee aan te stel volg op ‘n verdoemende verslag deur die ouditeur-generaal (OG) verlede jaar. In die verslag is ernstige munisipale finansi\u00eble wanbestuur in die Vrystaat blootgel\u00ea het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Altesaam 16 munisipaliteite met onbefondsde begrotings, meer as R4.2 miljard met ongemagtigde uitgawes, herhaalde ouditmenings met vrywaring en wydverspreide versuim om finansi\u00eble state betyds in te dien, is aan die lig gebring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie ineenstorting van munisipale dienslewering begin met swak finansi\u00eble bestuur. Dit is hoog tyd dat die nasionale regering, plaaslike regering aanspreeklik hou. Munisipaliteite het te lank straffeloos gewerk en gemeenskappe vernietig sonder om gevolge te dra,\u201d s\u00ea Von Maltitz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die haglike toestand van munisipale paaie, nie-funksionele brandstasies, waterbesoedeling, rioolbehandelingsprobleme, verswakkende waterinfrastruktuur en onbetaalde Eskom-rekeninge is slegs enkele van die grootste uitdagings waarmee landelike gemeenskappe te kampe het as gevolg van \u2018n disfunksionele plaaslike regering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boereverenigings en VL bly egter daartoe verbind om aktief met hul plaaslike regering te skakel en die toesigkomitee waar moontlik te ondersteun om die groeiende munisipale krisis aan te spreek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
