The African National Congress (ANC) in the Western Cape Legislature has described Thursday’s address by Premier Alan Winde to revive the local economy as lacking detail.
An emergency economic relief and recovery programme to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 was launched during the sitting.
Winde says the recovery plan aims to create jobs, boost the economy and support poor communities.
