Moonshot Social Relief Framework is insulting and patronising
25 April 2024
The DA-led Multi-Party Charter has released a set of pie-in-the-sky promises under the heading, “Social Relief Framework”.
It is a mishmash of the divergent polices of its members, not grounded in any real commitment to addressing grinding poverty.
In a country in which the level of social and economic exclusion are a throbbing crisis that can no longer be ignored, the framework is a half-hearted afterthought.
It contains 30 promises, some of which make common sense, some of which are pure flights of fantasy, and some of which are hypocritical dross considering the DA’s own record of leadership in the Western Cape for the past 15 years.
