The DA is tired of misleading budgets and subsequent unexplained over- and under-expenditure.
Our people are suffering due to a lack of proper and regular maintenance of provincial government institutions such as libraries, sporting facilities, public health care services, police stations and public schools.
It is concerning that this budget does not speak to the needs of our residents who deserve a government that delivers proper basic services.
