Thank you, Chairperson. On behalf of the Democratic Alliance I hereby wish to move:
That this Council-
1) notes the recent Auditor-General report on the 2018-19 audit outcomes for provincial governments;
2) further notes that in this report 79% of Western Cape, a department clean audits outcome;
3) also notes that where government do well they need to be praised and learn from;
4) notes that the Free State received not a single clean audit, 0% with 69% of the auditees requiring urgent intervention;
5) acknowledges that in a country where unemployment is creeping nearer to 30% and people, especially young people, are left out of the opportunities as well as where service delivery is falling apart, these results of the Free State are unaccepatable; and
6) calls upon the Select Committee on Co-operative Governance & Traditional Affairs to organise a bit of a meeting between the Western Cape, the best-run provincial government in the country, and the Free State, the worst-run in the country, so
that they can learn from the DA how to govern in the interest of the people.
