DA welcomes proposed sale of Gauteng Premier's official residence
27 September 2016
I welcome the announcement today by Gauteng Premier David Makhura that the Premier's Official Residence in Bryanston Johannesburg will be sold along with all houses owned by the Provincial Government.
He said this in an oral reply to my questions in the Legislature.
According to Makhura, the Department of Infrastructure Development has been given an express mandate to sell all houses owned by the Gauteng Provincial Government.
He said: "We are confident that this decision will not only save us money from maintenance but it will help raise additional resources to fund the TMR priorities such as student bursaries and rollout of Tshepo 500 000."
