BRIEFLY DISCUSS THE EFFECT THAT A LACK OF FOUR BASIC MUNICIPAL SERVICES HAS ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF PEOPLE LIVING IN THESE COMMUNITIES
Answers
Answer:
The South African Constitution states that municipalities have the responsibility to make sure that all citizens are provided with services to satisfy their basic needs. In this guide we will look at what those services are and the various ways in which municipalities can provide them in an affordable manner. We will also look at what role ordinary citizens can play to help municipalities decide what services to provide and how they will be provided.
Organisations can participate in many consultation and decision-making processes at local level - for example ward committees, budget consultations, ward meetings, Integrated Development Planning Forums, and so on. If you want to represent people and fight for their interests, it is very important to understand the level of services that are available, the ways services can be delivered and the choices for how to deliver services that your municipality faces.
