KZN SOPA: Failing ANC delivers disappointing SOPA with no real substance
27 February 2019
The Democratic Alliance (DA) today extends it best wishes for a speedy recovery to KZN Premier Willies Mchunu after he became unwell during his delivery of the State of the Province Address.
Despite this unfortunate turn of events, it remains the role of the DA – as the province’s official opposition - to review the contents of this address and to ensure that government is held to account in the interests of the people of KZN.
The DA regards today’s State of the Province Address as the least inspiring in the current parliamentary term. While the failing ANC reiterated the province’s many problems, it provided no tangible solutions.
The address was also a pre-election attempt to paint a picture of false unity within KZN’s ANC while speaking mostly to its so-called successes and steering clear of the many failed promises it has made to the people of KZN.
