# The National Council of Provinces Select Committee on Cooperative Governance and Public Administration is calling on newly elected councillors to prioritise service delivery and stability. There are over 100 hung municipalities following the local government elections, which will require the formation of coalition governments. Committee chairperson Mxolisi Kaunda says the new councillors have an opportunity to build on the gains made since the advent of democracy, while addressing persistent challenges and maladministration affecting municipalities. He adds that South Africans deserve functional municipalities that are responsive to the needs of communities.
