CITY OF CAPE TOWN
SPEECH BY THE EXECUTIVE MAYOR OF CAPE TOWN, ALDERMAN PATRICIA DE LILLE, ON THE OCCASION OF THE LAUNCH OF THE MAYORAL APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME ON December 12 2011
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good day, goeiedag, molweni.
The City of Cape Town is committed to creating opportunities. We are also committed to being leaders in service delivery.
The Apprentice programme allows us to combine these two goals and serve the individual while at the same time serving the city.
We are all aware that there are service delivery and infrastructure backlogs in the city. This is not just a Cape Town problem; it is a South African problem. Though this administration, and our predecessor, has taken steps to address infrastructure shortfalls, problems still remain.
