Report Reveals DA Municipalities Most Well Run in SA

Faizel Patel, Radio Islam News – 18-04-2019

With just a few weeks left before the general elections, a new, independent report has revealed that the most well run municipalities in South Africa, are led by the Democratic Alliance (DA) or DA coalitions.

Think-tank Good Governance Africa’s annual Government Performance Index (GPI) which has just been released shows the results are far more flattering to the DA than the African National Congress (ANC).

The report ranks South Africa’s 213 municipalities in terms of administration, economic development and service delivery

GGA’s Lukhona Mnguni says while this is the second report by the company, the first being in 2016, the analysis is work in progress.

“This is trying to really anchor the GPI as a frame of reference in seeing the municipalities shift.”

Overall, the top-performing municipality nationally is the Western Cape’s Mossel Bay, which is governed by the DA while the ANC takes second place in the rankings with the Eastern Cape municipality of Senqu.
