READ| We are not the strongest in the Western Cape - Mbalula Although the province is often recognised for strong financial governance overall, this does not reflect the lived experiences of black communities who continue to struggle with socio-economic challenges, Mashatile said. He argues that the province s municipal governance model is not the best in the country. The optimal model that we require is the one that accommodates all individuals regardless of their race or colour.
