Assessment of Poverty Cabinet ministers is a victory for the DA
11 April 2022
Note to Editors: Please find performance agreement targets of cabinet ministers here, performance interventions here and a soundbite from the DA Federal Leader John Steenhuisen here.
The DA is pleased that our recent evaluation of cabinet ministers against their own performance agreement targets has produced results, in that President Ramaphosa appears to have yielded to this pressure to hold his incompetent, indifferent, and corrupt ministers accountable for their clear failures.
According to a News24 report yesterday, the president has started a process to assess whether the ministers in his Poverty Cabinet are delivering on the targets set in their performance agreements.
This long-overdue process is the result of strong action taken by the DA to show that Ramaphosa’s Poverty Cabinet is directly responsible for the record levels of unemployment, inequality and poverty in South Africa, that have plunged millions of people into unnecessary despair and suffering and risk a repeat of last year’s July unrest.
