Gauteng – The South African Local Government Association (Salga) in Gauteng is set to host its elective provincial conference on February 8\u20139.<\/p>\n

The conference follows the local government elections held in November last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to Salga, the conference is significant as it serves as a platform for local government and sets the tone and agenda for the next five years of local government democratic term.<\/p>\n

When asked about the plans that will be undertaken by the association, Salga spokesperson Marelda Boshielo said the conference will deliberate on and approve the new five-year strategy for 2022\u20132027.<\/p>\n

Gauteng Premier David Makhura is expected to deliver the keynote address as well as panel discussions on critical issues pertaining to local government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The conference will be held under the theme, Intergovernmental and Institutional Co-operative Agility to Deliver Tangible and Evidence-based Services.<\/p>\n

The association said: “Guests and delegates at the provincial conference include relevant MECs, mayors, speakers, municipal managers and chief financial officers of all 11 municipalities in the province, civil society, business and academia.”<\/p>\n

Normally, the provincial meeting is held every five years within 90 days of the local government elections as provided for by the constitution of Salga.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Relating to the current leadership, Boshielo said Salga Gauteng under the stewardship of its provincial executive committee has achieved numerous milestones which have had a positive impact on its member municipalities and the local government developmental agenda during the 2016\u20132021 term.<\/p>\n

The conference will focus on:<\/p>\n

1. Elect the members of the provincial executive committee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2. Nominate two members to the national executive committee.<\/p>\n

3. Establish and review provincial oversight bodies as required by law.<\/p>\n

4. Approve the provincial programme of action and budget in respect of the ensuing five years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Boshielo said the candidates or nominations could not be confirmed at this time as it was the prerogative of member municipalities.<\/p>\n

“Nominations will be made at the conference itself and subsequently elected at the conference,” she said.<\/p>\n

“The 2022 provincial conference is expected to emerge with both new leadership and a five-year strategic programme in pursuit of improved service delivery to communities,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
