Amathole District Municipality Executive Mayor Anele Ntsangani delivered the State of the District Address for the 2026/27 financial year on Friday. He says the municipality has been transformed from an institution plagued by governance failures, financial instability and poor service delivery into one that is now financially stable and better positioned to serve its communities. “It is common knowledge that we inherited a municipality that had serious challenges of governance and service delivery.
