MUNICIPAL CORE VALUES

This is further strengthened by our new municipal core values which are in keeping with the Batho Pele principles :

• Consultation – This is a regulatory process by which the public‘s input is sought on matters affecting them. Its main goal is on improving efficiency, transparency and public involvement in large-scale projects, laws and policies.
• Accountability –The agencies involved in the management and implementation of projects should be procedurally and periodically be answerable to people.
• Transparency - The decision - maker should keep records of decision- making process and demonstrate how public input is being used.
• Process equity – The process should be balanced, fair to the public to negotiate their concerns, including the rights of the disfranchised and disabled people.
• Outcome equity - The outcome of the final product should be balanced and not biased towards a particular viewpoint or gender etc.
• Excellence - The stand we take, allows for performance that surpasses what was previously possible, performance that defies old limits and maps new territory
• Access to information - The Constitution gives every person the right of access to information, held by a public or private body for the exercise or protection of any right
