A report published by Daily Maverick detailed local governance issues in the Eastern Cape. The Sundays River Valley Citrus Producer Forum, a voluntary organization representing over 95% of regional producers, has been providing services to the Sundays River Valley Municipality since 2014. The forum continues to spend millions of rands annually performing the municipality's work due to council dysfunctionality.
