Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi is known for making bold promises about tackling service delivery, fighting corruption, and fixing municipalities in the province.
These are not new promises made by the Premier.
In fact, these same promises have been made by his predecessors.
While Gauteng residents received an apology for the service delivery issues they face, what is needed now is action.
The following speeches were delivered today during the State of the Province Address (SOPA) debates:
• Solly Msimanga MPL, Official Leader of the Opposition-Tangible service delivery needed now, not empty promises Premier Lesufi
• Mike Moriarty MPL, DA Gauteng Shadow MEC for Economic Development –Lesufi fails to attract investors and create jobs
• Ofentse Madzebatela MPL, DA Gauteng Spokesperson for Economic Development- Lesufi fails the township economy due to collapsing service delivery
• Nicole Van Dyk MPL, DA Gauteng Spokesperson for Roads and Logistics-SOPA 2026 offers old promises with no proper plan to fix Gauteng’s roads
• Khathutshelo Rasilingwane MPL, DA Gauteng Spokesperson for Infrastructure Development – War rooms and task teams are not the solution to Gauteng’s water crisis
• Michael Sun MPL, DA Gauteng Spokesperson for Community Safety- Crime statistics confirm that Gauteng’s war against crime is far from over
• Kingsol Chabalala MPL, DA Constituency Head- Emfuleni North- Forget the megacity and give Emfuleni residents basic services!
• Dr Jack Bloom MPL, DA Gauteng Shadow MEC for Health- Lesufi’s lies and false victories
