		Mufamadi's attack is likely to worsen the already cold relations between the centre and the provincial and local government department over the centre's interpretation of the transformation challenges facing local government.
		Mufamadi said at the weekend that the centre, headed by executive director Ann Bernstein, assumed that there was an ideological hostility on the part of government towards the private sector.
		He said conclusions reached by the centre were misleading as they implied that government had little regard for the private sector and that the economy of the country was not growing because the state was not creating conditions in which the private sector could grow the economy.

		Mufamadi must have been one of the activists in mind when the expression about the problem of "wearing too many hats" became popular in the early '90s, at which point he was equally active in the ANC, COSATU and the SACP.
		Mufamadi was called "Jomo" as a youngster because he was an avid soccer player.
		In 1988 Mufamadi was placed under 14 days' house arrest when he was co-ordinator of the Anti-Apartheid Conference which was intended to mobilise and unify the broadest range of forces against the state of emergency and repression in general.

		Mufamadi admits the government does not see the need to postpone the elections - “as this could have negative implications” - but said the decision was made to allow discussion of a report on the concerns of traditional leaders, who are worried that municipalities in traditional areas will diminish their powers.
		Mufamadi said from the government's view, there was no need for the traditional leaders to be concerned as a process was under way to ensure their powers did not disappear with the second democratic local elections.
		The government had indicated its willingness to find ways of enhancing their roles, Mufamadi said, adding it was in that context that the government decided to postpone the election date.

		Provincial and Local Government Minister Sydney Mufamadi - who led a South African dele gation to the DRC this week - also insisted that the attempted coup and the recent fighting in the eastern town of Bukavu were "freak incidents which would not derail the process of transition".
		Mufamadi said the parliament had problems meeting its obligations, including passing legislation on nationality and amnesty "to ensure that there is a place for everybody in Congolese society".
		The issue of amnesty was an important element in the integration of armed forces to make sure that "you have all the belligerent forces to declare their weapons and personnel for the purposes of screening and demobilisation, while some (soldiers) will be integrated into civilian life".

		Mufamadi said the remuneration of full-time councillors would be improved to provide incentives for them to work harder and to improve service delivery.

		Provincial and Local Government Minister Sydney Mufamadi says there are better ways to ensure public partici- pation in local government than have recently been experienced in places such as Harrismith, Phomolong, Kungwini and Westonaria, where residents went on the rampage after protesting about poor service delivery by municipalities.
		However, in the first 10 years of democracy, elected public representatives have maintained the status quo, with councillors largely failing to regularly report back to their constituencies about development plans that are likely to improve their lives.
		In short, Mufamadi says, although local government legislation provides for the establishment of ward committees that are supposed to articulate government policies to communities, the process has not been implemented properly.

	The Herald : Columns
		ANY hopes that DA leader Tony Leon may have been harbouring of some kind of improvement in relations with the ANC were well and truly dashed by Provincial and Local Government Minister Sydney Mufamadi when he spoke in the state of the Nation debate on Wednesday afternoon.
		Commenting on Chief Buthelezi’s remark that he had now been involved in South African politics for 50 years, the minister noted that they had not all been “covered in glory” as was evident from the bantustan mess that the ANC government now had to resolve.
		It is not likely that Mr Mufamadi would have made these remarks if they had not been cleared with the President and one can therefore conclude that, for the time being at least, in the national assembly and outside it will be “war as usual”.

		Speaking on the SABC programme Newsmaker this morning, he warned that although the leaders wanted to deal directly with President Mbeki on the issue, "there is no possibility of the president reaching agreement with traditional leaders that bypasses the legislative process, that bypasses the rest of civil society".
