Secret Cape Town report shows delivery to rich - COSATU WCape

Tony Ehrenreich to submit PAIA request for document that'll collapse DA election strategy

City report reveals DA delivers to all who are wealthy: COSATU to apply under Information Disclosure Act to have Cape Town City Council report released, that will collapse DA election strategy

City report reveals DA delivers to all who are wealthy and live in mainly white areas, and people now know it.

COSATU is concerned that the City of Cape Town is denying the People of Cape Town access to a report done by a public institution using Public funds. The attempt to hide this report is because it contradicts the DA's attempt to say that the City delivers for all. The report exposes the fact that the DA mainly delivers for the wealthy, South Africa reflected by the negative ratings of the people of Khayalitsha and Mitchell's plain (see Cape Times report).

People of Cape Town have seen how the City administration builds a Bicycle route for the Millerton elite whilst the people of Mitchells Plain and Khayalitsha need it more. People have seen how the city puts in place a special bus service for the wealthy to the airport, whilst workers from Khayalitsha and Mitchell's Plain have to brave overcrowded trains every day.

The Report also exposes the attitude of voters to the DA since there vicious assault on the working people of Hout Bay.

The DA does deliver for all, but only all who are wealthy and live in the old mainly white areas. This report reveals that the lie of the DA has been revealed to the people of Cape Town. The City's own report exposes the truth and now the DA and city officials have been trying to hide the report from the media.

COSATU demands that the DA release the report by 12 00 Wednesday 6 April 2011, failing which COSATU will bring an application under the disclosure of Information Act.
