Councillors’ Corner #4 | FF+’s Louw accounts for Modimolle’s Ward 5
As South Africa gears up for the elections, municipal councillors are closing out their 5-year terms. But what have they actually achieved?
In this week’s edition of Councillors’ Corner, our Digital News producer Lebo Tshangela speaks with the Freedom Front Plus’ (FF+) Ward 5 Councillor in Limpopo’s Modimolle Mookgophong Local Municipality, Marita Louw.
Louw, who represents Roedtan, Vaalwater, and Alma, reflects on the five-year tenure – which has been plagued by infrastructure decay, financial constraints and administrative instability.
“For me the solutions is to move from a culture of reacting to problems and rather, to move to a culture of planned maintenance and accountability. It is really important that municipalities plan properly.”
