Corruption is the cause

Corruption in local governments was the root cause of poor service delivery, the SA Municipal Workers' Union (Samwu) said on Friday (5 March 2010).

Speaking at the union's annual NEC meeting in Johannesburg, general secretary Mthandeki Nhlapo said the union would "name and shame" corrupt individuals who were more serious about enriching themselves with government contracts than with service delivery.

"We have done so in the North West, we will do so in the rest of the country," he said. -- News24
