Maimane to attend public land hearings in East London

Tomorrow, Thursday 26 July 2018, Democratic Alliance (DA) Leader, Mmusi Maimane MP, will be part of the public land hearing engagements at the Orient Theatre in East London. Maimane will be accompanying members of the Gwatyu Communal Property Association (CPA) as they continue to fight for the land that they have lived on for decades. This fight for over 1500 Gwatyu residents to own and work the land that they live on shows the ANC governments failures to ensure black South Africans own land. The DA’s pledge on land reform will always be for individuals to own, and if they so choose, work …

Municipal water losses – money down the drain

Dear MyPE Non-metro municipalities have shown a continued regression on water losses, increasing from 49.1% in 2016 to 51.2% in 2017. Municipal income from water declined from 44.5% to 38.5% during the same period. This is money down the drain. This is in contrast to the steady progress that has been made in Nelson Mandela Bay. In the recent response received from the Eastern Cape Department of Finance, Economic Development, Environmental Affairs and Tourism MEC, Lubabalo Oscar Mabuyane, it showed that the Chris Hani District Municipality experienced the biggest decline in water …

Makana Mayor must go

Dear MyPE The DA will today move a motion of no confidence in the executive mayor of Makana Muncipality, Cllr Nomhle Gaga. Cllr Gaga has failed in her duties as the Mayor of Makana to exercise effective oversight and provide leadership to this embattled and financially strapped municipality. Her chaotic reign has led Makana deeper into trouble. Makana Municipality has long suffered from neglect under ANC leadership. Successive disclaimer audit opinions by the Auditor General and crumbling infrastructure highlight the blatant dereliction of duty by the city’s highest office …
