ANC Western Cape can't see truth from political fantasy
19 February 2015
Tomorrow Premier Helen Zille will deliver a state of the province address in the Western Cape that will outline how the best-run Province in South Africa continues to deliver on its mandate of good governance.
It is an uncomfortable truth for Marius Fransman, and his band of supporters who marched to the legislature today, that the people of the Western Cape are seeing more and more progress made under the DA, and endorsing this increasingly at the ballot box.
Today 76% of the Western Cape provincial budget is spent in the poorest communities of the province. This is achievable due to clean audits for 18 departments of the Western Cape government, and unqualified audits for a further five.
Census 2011 shows that under the DA, 99% of households in the Western Cape have access to piped water, 93.4% have access to electricity and 90.5% have access to flush toilets. This is the highest access in the country.
