The Democratic Alliance (DA) believes it has all the solutions to the challenges facing Durban Metro.
DA is Ready to Governance Summit The government in Durban was aiming to become part of the new government in KwaZulu-Natal after the May 29 election.
The party considered solutions and methods that would help restore the city of Durban to its former glory.
The party states that it is part of the South African Multiparty Charter and that no party may win a full majority.
Service delivery
KwaZulu-Natal party leaders hosted government leaders from the DA-led Western Cape to share their governance experiences.
The poor state of service delivery in eThekwini City is at the heart of the situation, with health, water and sanitation being the main concerns.
Many communities have faced water problems for many years, and the municipality has been subject to many service delivery protests.
Chris Pappas, the state's DA lead candidate, will elaborate on the summit's key issues.
“We are working not only to promote the manifesto, but also to train and educate the people's representatives to take over the government once it is formed. There are seven things, but the most important are jobs and economic growth. We know we have a lot of unemployment and unemployment problems in this state, and we need to do that to get our economy back on track. We need to stimulate. Specifically, we have enough of the key sectors like agriculture, tourism, transportation, logistics, and energy. But in addition to that, we have the basic backlog to get our state moving again. We can't rebuild our economy if we don't look at energy, water, and crime. Health care and education, two key capacities of our province, will also revitalize KZN and build on what we have. We need to form a core of saving.”
water trouble
Zahid Badrudian, member of the City of Cape Town's Mayoral Committee for Water and Sanitation, said desalination and water reuse could be the ultimate solution to the water challenges faced by eThekwini. Masu.
health reform
Western Cape Health Minister Dr Nomafrench Mbombo encouraged provinces to strengthen their health systems at district level to ensure improved health services.
Dr Mbombo says bringing the latest technology to hospitals must also be a priority.
financial management
Meanwhile, KwaZulu-Natal provincial council leader Francois Rogers said he would develop policies to ensure the allocated funds were used appropriately.
“The most important thing is financial management, financial management. Without money, you can't do anything. You can make all kinds of promises, but you have to control your own wallet. I think that's the most important thing. What we can take away from the Western Cape is that you need policy certainty: you need to understand what your policies are, how you will achieve the implementation of your policies, and understand those policies. “We need to have the political will to implement it. Whether it's health, whether it's education, whether it's in any state department, it's about policy certainty and policy implementation and the political will to implement it.”
Mr. Rogers added that in the coming weeks he would focus his campaign on areas where he has less support.
