Lesufi must first do his own job before interfering in Tshwane

The premier of Gauteng, Panyaza Lesufi, faces many crises that require his diligent attention. The most obvious one is the Rand Water supply crisis currently afflicting municipalities and their residents. Instead the premier seems to be dedicating his time to playing political games.
The DA takes note of Lesufi's statement that "the provincial ANC will enter into talks with other political parties in Tshwane in a bid to remove the DA from power”, and we assure him that we will fight him every step of the way.
We know what happened the last time the ANC provincial executive in Gauteng intervened Tswhane. Provincial ANC administrators found a surplus of R296 million on its operating budget, and by the time they left the city had a R4 billion deficit. Systems and controls were also destroyed.
