JOHANNESBURG - The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng has criticised the province's Premier, Panyaza Lesufi, on his decision to revive the controversial Nasi Ispani programme, which government hopes will create 40,000 jobs in its return. The party's Refiloe Ntsekhe launched an attack against Lesufi at the weekend, pointing to the initiative's collapse in March.

She said the party wants the province's MEC for Social Development, Faith Mazibuko, to account for the source of funding in the first round of the initiative launched ahead of 2024's general elections.
