Zuma: Service delivery must be faster

Basic service delivery must be quicker and faster, President Jacob Zuma said on Friday.

"It is not good for people to live in shacks for over 20 years. Basic service delivery must be quicker, faster and smarter to improve the lives of our people," Zuma said at the Madelakufa settlement in Tembisa.

He was in Tembisa to report back to the community on progress made since his visit to the area in November. At the time, the community complained about houses, water and toilets.

Zuma said a lot had been done since then.

The Ekurhuleni municipality was developing an area where 450 houses would be built by the end of November.

"Government must respond when the people speak to give courage to those who are working to better the lives of our people and to deepen the hope for those waiting for houses and other services from the government," Zuma said. - Sapa
