Opposition Parties Dismiss Lesufis State Of The Province Address As Bluster Without Actionable Plans

Opposition parties have dismissed Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi s State of the Province address Sopa as lacking substance, accusing him of making grand promises without clear implementation strategies.

Democratic Alliance DA provincial leader Solly Msimanga said Lesufis address was full of hot air, failing to provide concrete plans to combat crime and improve services in the countrys economic capital.

Economic Freedom Fighters EFF provincial leader Nkululeko Dunga said Lesufis address was another exercise in empty rhetoric.

This recurring pattern of unfulfilled commitments continues to undermine the trust and aspirations of the people of Gauteng, he said, adding that the province remains plagued by electricity shortages, water crises, unemployment and insecurity.

This comes after Lesufi laid out 13 key issues his administration must urgently address, ranging from water shortages to crime and lawlessness.
