DA slams revival of Nasi ispani jobs scheme
KLIPTOWN - The Democratic Alliance in Gauteng has slammed Premier Panyaza Lesufi for reviving the Nasi Ispani jobs programme. It aims to create fourty-thousand new positions. The party is criticising the move over the abrupt collapse of the programme in March due to budget constraints. It's demanding answers from Social Development MEC Faith Mazibuko about the programme's financing. According to Gauteng Government spokeswoman Vuyo Mhaga, potholes, broken traffic lights, and all road infrastructure and buildings in need of painting are the problems that Johannesburg residents face.
