南非总统 Cyril Ramaphosa 在2026年地方政府选举结束后，于11月9日（周一）致全国民众的每周通讯中呼吁新当选市议员优先服务交付、跨越政治分歧合作、恢复公众对地方政府的信心。选举委员会（IEC）已于周日（11月8日）公布最终结果。
拉马福萨表示，当选者现在需要证明自己无愧于南非人民给予的信任；地方政府应当成为服务交付的引擎、发展的驱动与机会的创造者。他呼吁各政党在选举市政负责人过程中真诚合作，使市政会能组建并开始工作，并要求当选者从一开始就寻找共同点，不论政治分歧。

South Africa's President Ramaphosa Tells New Councillors to Put Service Delivery First and Cooperate Across Parties to Form Councils
President Cyril Ramaphosa, in his weekly message to the nation on Monday, November 9, following the 2026 local government elections, urged newly elected councillors to prioritise service delivery, cooperate across political divides and restore public confidence in local government. The Electoral Commission (IEC) had declared the final results on Sunday, November 8.
Ramaphosa said those elected to councils now need to prove themselves worthy of the trust placed in them by the South African people, and that local government must be made an engine room of service delivery, a driver of development and a creator of opportunity. He called on parties to cooperate in good faith in electing office-bearers so that councils can be formed and begin their work, and asked councillors to find common ground from the start, whatever their political differences.
Under the revised White Paper on Local Government, councillors are also to reshape local government by improving municipal financial management, directing more funding to infrastructure maintenance and ensuring services reach residents reliably; voters' everyday demands include jobs and economic opportunity, reliable and affordable water and electricity, well-maintained public spaces and safer communities. More than 15 million South Africans voted, with over 540 parties and nearly 137,000 candidates contesting council seats; Ramaphosa congratulated the IEC on a professional election and thanked the police and defence force for keeping voting safe.
