Question 129 asked by Ms M O Mokause, Northern Cape, whether the actions and approach on issues by the Premier of the Northern Cape amount to corruption and hypocrisy; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what
are the relevant details? The question concerned is defective and based on misinformation. The company concerned was appointed on 22 January 2019, and the elections were on 8 May 2019. At the time of appointment of that company, the Premier of the Northern Cape was not in government.
The creation of work is the anchor point of the sixth administration. Therefore, any government programme that seeks to create decent work and thereby take our people out of poverty is welcome. However, because in the question there is a notion of corruption and hypocrisy, our view is that if there is allegations and evidence that there is corruption, it must be taken up with the proper agencies which deal with corruption.
