Wat is die rol van ’n Wykskomitees in ‘n Munisipaliteit?

This is the Afrikaans version of the video "What is the Role of Ward Committees in a Municipality?" from the Civics Academy Local Government Series. Check out our videos: www.civicsacademy.co.za
A ward is an area in a metro or local municipality, which has clearly defined boundaries. A ward committee is a democratically elected body which represents a wide variety of community interests and meets regularly under the chairperson who is the ward councillor.
Essentially, a ward committee should be an effective way of spreading information concerning what your community wants from municipal council and what council is doing.
