COMPONENT B: PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY
2.3.3 WARD COMMITTEES
The advent of democracy in 1994 brought about a new democratic local governance system which promotes certain basic values and principles. Such values and principles include transparency, accountability and an open and inclusive system of governance through community involvement in governance, and planning and democratisation of development. This certainly placed South Africa on par with other democratic governments throughout the world and positioned it as a reputable reference form of effective decentralised system of government.
The notion of participation remains a key cornerstone of good governance and constitutes an integral component in the policy making process, development planning and budgeting. Section 152 of the Constitution, places the participation of communities at the centre of service delivery and other matters of Local Government. Correspondingly, the Local Government: Municipal Structures Act, 1998 (Act No.
117 of 1998) and the MSA provides the legislative framework for the establishment of Ward Committees by municipalities.
Section 42 of the MSA stipulates that a municipality, through appropriate mechanisms, processes and procedures established in terms of Chapter 4 of said Act, must involve the local community in the development, implementation and review of the municipality’s performance management system and, in particular, allow the community to participate in the setting of appropriate key performance indicators and performance targets for the municipality.
A general understanding has emerged that a ward committee is an area-based committee whose boundaries coincide with ward boundaries.
Ward Committees:
are made up of representatives of a particular ward;
are made up of members who are elected to represent a specific geographical area/block;
are chaired by the ward councillor;
are meant to be an institutionalised channel of communication and interaction between communities and municipalities;
give the community members the opportunity to express their needs and opinions on issues that affect their lives, and to be heard at the municipal level via the ward councillor; and
are advisory bodies created within the sphere of civil society to assist the ward councillor in carrying out his or her mandate in the most democratic manner possible.
Ward committees should be elected by the community they serve. A ward committee may not have more than 10 members and women should be well represented. The ward councillor serves on the ward committee and acts as the chairperson. Although ward committees have no formal powers, they advise the ward councillor, who makes specific submissions directly to the council. These committees play a critical role in the development and annual revision of the integrated development plan of the area.
The ward committee support the ward councillor, who receive reports on development, participate in development planning processes and facilitate wider community participation. The municipality constantly strives to ensure that all ward committees function optimally in terms of the provision of community information, convening meetings, ward planning, service delivery, IDP formulation and performance feedback to communities.
The year 2020 will undoubtedly be remembered as a year that changed the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has undeniably brought about profound changes on all levels of society. These changes, inter alia, demand new ways of thinking about development and public participation.
