today21 February, 2024

Background

ActionSA in the Western Cape criticizes Premier Alan Winde’s state of the province address, citing a lack of clear plans to tackle declining governance, service delivery, and inequality. The party proposes robust measures against crime, social support for addicts, increased healthcare investment, and a new approach to housing provision. Michelle Wasserman of ActionSA emphasizes the need for urgent interventions to address collapsing municipalities and the looming threat of criminality. Wasserman advocates for a province where criminals do not dictate terms, and the government prioritizes serving the needs of all residents.
