Water, sanitation services continue to deteriorate in the Free State

The failure of the national government's intervention in several distressed municipalities in the Free State shows the unwillingness of municipal officials to implement the recommendations.

That's according to political commentator Prof Sethulego Matebesi from the University of the Free State.

His comments come after the Portfolio Committee on Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs reported that basic services, particularly water and sanitation, in several municipalities continued to deteriorate.
The Auditor General also reported over R7 billion in unauthorised, irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure.
