Gauteng Premier invites FF Plus to present the party’s economic recovery plan for the province to him
31 August 2021
During today’s a session of the Gauteng Legislature, the FF Plus received an invitation from the Premier, David Makhura, to submit the party's economic recovery plan – aimed at addressing the Covid-19 pandemic, the lockdown and recent riots – to him for consideration.
The FF Plus accepted the invitation and will submit its plan, which was compiled by expert economists, among others, to the Premier while also putting pressure on the provincial government to implement this practical and realistic plan.
The FF Plus is of the opinion that the plan will certainly help Gauteng's economy recover, ensure economic growth and promote job creation so as to alleviate poverty. The plan, furthermore, condemns the provision of any form of government aid based on racial discrimination.
The Premier's suggestion followed an oral question by the FF Plus about the ANC government's own recovery plan and how it aims to address and mitigate the devastating effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the lockdown and riots.
