Municipal bill gets nod

Cape Town – Cabinet has approved the Municipal Systems Amendment Bill, which seeks to depoliticise municipalities and ensure that provincial and local governments appoint skilled people, says government spokesperson Themba Maseko.

The bill has been hailed by Co-operative Governance Minister Sicelo Shiceka as progress towards achieving President Jacob Zuma's promise to rid public service of "lazy and incompetent" employees.

It would prohibit the appointment of political office bearers to top municipal posts.
