Local elections not a verdict on Gauteng government’s performance - Makhura
11 August 2016
Johannesburg - Gauteng Premier David Makhura said the outcome of the 2016 municipal elections was not a reflection on the multiple interventions his government had undertaken in the province ahead of the polls.
The province's first citizen was speaking at a media briefing on Thursday at his office on processes that will unfold following the election outcomes.
He said his government had done well and would continue with some of its projects.
"The transformation and mainstreaming of the township economy, we will be escalating that. Interventions on education and health, we will be escalating those. We have two-and-a-half years left to do this," he said.
