Hlabisa commits to six-monthly reports on Cape Town's service delivery failures
Minister Velenkosini Hlabisa says COGTA will monitor Cape Town’s response to Public Protector findings on service delivery failures in Langa Flats and Khayelitsha and report progress to Parliament.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) finds itself in a quandary following a scandal involving Dr. Mark Burke, who has stepped aside from several oversight roles due to a serious Reserve Bank probe into his forex crypto arbitrage company, Kastelo. The timing of these revelations has raised suspicions, as Burke was set to play a crucial role in the DA's campaign to win three metros in Gauteng on November 4.
Hill-Lewis, the newly minted DA leader, has intervened to insist Burke step aside from these roles, despite the DA's initial reluctance to interfere. Now, the party must decide whether Hill-Lewis should continue campaigning or move to Parliament, or if Sarupen should step down as deputy finance minister to help manage the caucus.
The situation is further complicated by the party's divided complement of ministers and the ongoing governance issues at the Public Investment Corporation.
