ANC meets with EPWP workers to promise government jobs
9 March 2017
The DA has learnt that ANC leadership in EThekwini is today holding a mass meeting with Expanded Public Works Program (EPWP) workers at the Durban ICC.
There is no conceivable reason for a political party to hold a meeting with EPWP workers, who are employed in a government program, not an ANC program.
We know it is an ANC meeting, because upon trying to attend, a DA councillor was forced to leave by Mayor Gumede herself. We have also learnt that the Mayor opened the event by telling those present that no one should either discuss or send pictures of the meeting to the DA.
We are certain that ANC councillors are in full attendance as ANC councillors today bunked their duties to the City, and attended no committee meetings, to rather go to this EPWP meeting.
