Four ward committee elections taking place today
Ward committees are also important in fostering relations between ward councillors and key stakeholders at the ward level.
The Emalahleni Local Municipality is gearing up to get the ward committees up and going.
According to the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs said ward committees are crucial in the local government system as they are the link between the councillor and the community.
The ward committee system is also said to play a critical role in giving meaning to the notion of “the people shall govern”.
This is so because local government is regarded as the level of government closest to the people and ward committees are just one way to ensure that citizens give input to the decisions that local councils make.
