Lusikisiki - The exodus of people from the Eastern Cape is the biggest possible vote of no-confidence in a government, Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane said on Saturday.
The two provinces shared many similarities. They were similar in size, population numbers, both had long rugged coastlines and beautiful interiors that ranged from semi-desert Karoo to towering mountain ranges. One of these provinces had spent the past decade fighting its way back to prosperity and opportunity for its people, while the other had slipped further and further back into poverty and despair. One was a place to which people flocked in search of a better life, while the other was a place that people had to leave to survive.
"This exodus of people is the biggest possible vote of no-confidence in a government, whether they leave in search of work, for access to healthcare, for better living conditions and basic services, or for education opportunities for their children. It is a shameful reflection of a government that has collapsed this province," he said.
"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.
