GPSOPA19 | 'It is here in Gauteng where wealth and opulence exist side by side with acute poverty and hunger. This is the ugly and unacceptable reality that we seek to change.'

Gauteng premier David Makhura on Monday delivered the sixth state of the province address in which he addressed tourism, job creation and inequality, among other burning issues. "It is here in Gauteng where wealth and opulence exist side by side with acute poverty and hunger. This is the ugly and unacceptable reality that we seek to change. Accordingly, this ANC-led sixth administration will focus on priorities including the economy, and infrastructure development.

We don't have the mountains, we don't have the sea, but we are the business centre of tourism as those who want to go to the Table Mountain and to the sea arrive here and we want to keep them here, get them to spend half of the money they have here.""We will target and enforce procurement by all our government entities from township businesses to the value of 30% of the Gauteng goods budget.
