Ramokgopa’s redeployment was a blessing in disguise for Gauteng – Makhura

Gauteng Premier David Makhura, in his state of the province address on Tuesday morning, praised the relationship his administration has since forged with the presidency, particularly Ramokgopa and the department of cooperative governance and traditional affairs.

“Ramokgopa, being the former MEC for economic development and an engineer by training, meant that he has remained interested in seeing the projects started by the provincial government come to fruition.” “I would like to thank President Cyril Ramaphosa for his full endorsement of our work in the development of a smart city in Lanseria. This generated unparalleled private sector support. We will build a new city stretching from Lanseria [Gauteng] to Hartbeespoort Dam [in the Madibeng Local Municipality in the North West], and this will take shape during this decade.

The province will also spend R60 billion on building and maintaining infrastructure in the next five years.
