According to a survey conducted by Corruption Watch, the Gauteng Province is said to be the most corrupt province in South Africa. With only a few weeks to go until the May 7, citizens of SA will take to the voting polls to cast their votes.
In an interview on Morning Live, the ANC, COPE, DA and EFF talks about the various obstacles that the province is facing as well as the service delivery problem in the province.
Meanwhile, the ANC chairperson of the Tshwane region, Kgosientso Ramokgopa says they are confident they’ll
take most of the wards in the province again based on the 2009 elections.
ANC adament to win elections again
He says that Gauteng is the fourth largest province to have grown economically in SA and it is due to the progress that the ruling party has made so far. “We have improved on service delivery and health in the province, more people have access to basic services such as electricity and water, he says.
Meanwhile, the DA has said they are hunting for Gauteng. The deputy federal chair of the DA, Makashule Gang, says people want a corrupt free government that delivers. He says people strive for a life that is full of opportunities and that is what the DA is offering during this year’s elections.“The Western Cape is a clear example of a well ran local government and we can run the entire SA,” says Gang. He says their main aim is to end corruption because corruption steals the heart and money of the country.
