The exodus from one province to another is the biggest vote of no confidence in the ANC, he says, calling for a chance to govern both.
“Moving from one province to another is a very clear vote. It is a vote for a government that is caring, capable and corruption-free, and it is a vote against a government that has betrayed the trust of the people.
“But instead people have been leaving the province of their birth because there are simply no opportunities for them or their children here. They leave where they cannot see a future, and they go where they think they can build a better life for them and their families. “People go where the government doesn’t steal public money, where it will spend its budget on the things that improve living conditions. Things like basic service delivery, infrastructure, education, and healthcare,” Maimane said.
In the Western Cape the expanded unemployment rate was less than half of this, at 23 percent. No other province came close to this. This was a full 14 percent below the national average of 37 percent, he said.
