12 October 2019
Cooperative Government and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma says room for corruption will lessen in local government when processes become more transparent.
The minister was part of a panel at a growth forum former president Kgalema Motlante's foundation hosted in the Drakensburg on Saturday.
Dlamini-Zuma spoke about unlocking economic development at local government level and addressing issues of poverty in South Africa's municipalities.
Admitting that corruption existed at local government level, the minister said it was important to understand why.
