Minister Velenkosini Hlabisa’s White Paper review aims to reshape local government in South Africa by making leadership more skilled and ethical, fixing how municipalities get their money, and boosting local economies. It also focuses on protecting communities from climate risks and giving youth, women, and traditional leaders stronger roles. By talking with many people across the country, the review seeks fresh ideas to help towns and cities better serve their people. This bold plan hopes to build local governments that bring real hope, growth, and fairness to all.
