Tau wants municipalities to have a voice in Gauteng’s legislature

The SA Local Government Association (Salga) in Gauteng will push for legislation to have the municipal umbrella body recognised as a member of the Gauteng legislature. This will compel the provincial government to consult municipalities more on matters that are actually the function of local authorities but that have been taken over by the province‚ said outgoing Salga Gauteng chairman and former executive mayor of Johannesburg Parks Tau this week.
