LGE Public Meetings in the WC, KZN, GP and Limpopo
Local government is supposed to be the most accessible part of government, but often local politicians don’t do their job and fail to be accountable.
In the lead up to the Local Government elections, R2K is partnering with community organisations to challenge potential Councillors, both those from political parties and independents, to sign our pledge of accountability and commitment to being recalled if they do not work in the interest of the community.
-
We demand transparency and accountability from local officials past election day.
-
We demand the right to recall of local ward Councillors who do not work in the interest of their communities.
-
We demand political candidates sign our pledge to be transparent and accountable!
