‘ANC has robbed Gauteng residents of a dignified life’ – Solly Msimanga

The Gauteng Democratic Alliance (DA) hosted a media briefing at Liliesleaf Farm on Thursday morning where it outlined ‘all ANC corruption and broken promises.’

DA Gauteng Premier Candidate Solly Msimanga says they chose this location to highlight the promises that former ANC leaders made at the dawn of democracy that have not been fulfilled.

“They shared a 25-page document with the media that outlines some of the broken promises and laws from the ANC government.”

According to Goba, Msimanga says the ANC has robbed the people of Gauteng of a good and dignified life.

The Lesego Makhubela, Gauteng ANC spokesperson, says it is a waste of time to listen to the DA talking about corruption while they ignore the ‘monumental failures.’

He says that Msimanga is the DA’s ‘poster boy of corruption’ and is responsible for the collapse of Tshwane.

He adds that the ANC has owned up to its failures.
