Western Cape produced half of new jobs in Q4: Alan Winde in state of the province address

Members of the Cape Town Metro Police salute premier Alan Winde at a parade outside the Rocklands Civic Centre where the Western Cape state of the province address was held on Thursday.The Western Cape produced more than half of SA’s new jobs in the final quarter of last year, says premier Alan Winde.

He also announced the deployment of the first 500 of 3,000 new law enforcement officers and promised his and his cabinet’s support to the new provincial police commissioner, Lt-Gen Yolisa Matakata, who sat in the front row of guests. Working on Fire aircraft were a substitute for the Gripen fighters which flew over parliament during President Cyril Ramaphosa's state of the nation address on February 13 2020.His strategy to further increase job growth, said Winde, was to support the private sector with the province’s red-tape-reduction programmes.

In the pursuit of energy stability and a green economy, Winde announced a four-point plan for the province:Increase “small-scale embedded generation” such as solar panels in private homes, business and other entities; “Over the past few weeks, we have had several very positive engagements with the administrator appointed by the Passenger Rail Agency of SA. I’m also thrilled that President Ramaphosa has finally committed to doing something about the worst- affected lines,” he said.

Says a lot about who's doing what for the people of SA!

Interested to hear from Twitter morons how creating jobs, providing social housing, increasing policing, seeking to solve the electricity problem and pushing to provide better education is 'racist'. DA clearly showing the rest of SA what is possible, but yeah, keep voting ANC.

Drop in the ocean. Whole country is screwed

I wonder what they're doing different?
