Eastern Cape Sopa: Mabuyane focuses on job creation; EFF booted from legislature ECSOPA2020
Mabuyane, who was delivering his second state of the province address on Tuesday at the Eastern Cape provincial legislature in Bhisho, said: “We must also acknowledge that the majority of our people remain spectators in the mainstream economy. The greatest challenge we face in our province in this 26th year of our democracy is unemployment and youth unemployment in particular...”
“What have these overalls done? If you look at the National Assembly everyone is wearing them. What is different? What is so peculiar about the legislature of the Eastern Cape that we can’t be allowed to participate and sit and listen to the premier and debate next week?” Tetyana asked. “This is not National Parliament. National Parliament took a particular decision to say they are setting back their rules,” she added.
“This is the realisation of what President Cyril Ramaphosa calls the ‘One Government, One Plan and One Budget’ agenda of the sixth term,” he said. “We are also engaging various Setas to provide skills training to graduates and unemployed youth,” he said. We appreciate the focus on the economy in general. It shows that the premier shows deeper understanding of the difficulty that is facing our country which is joblessness and an economy that is not growing.“We will include projects proposed and identified in the Master Plan into our provincial investment book. Our plans to establish small harbours in Port St Johns, Hamburg, Port Alfred and Gonubie will be speeded up,” he said.
