The Democratic Alliance (DA) in North West takes note of Premier Mokgoro's so-called State of the Province Address (SOPA) today in Mahikeng.
We simply don’t believe anything the ANC dishes up as it, as usual, full of empty promises. This is nothing but a State of Corruption after it was confirmed that R2.4 billion was wasted due to corruption here without any proper consequence management or attempts to recover the money. Under a DA government those found guilty will face at least 15 years in jail.
The real State of our Province is tainted by exceedingly high levels of crime, especially in rural settings, where farmers and farmworkers are left vulnerable; corruption; unemployment; and a lack of service delivery. The speech was devoid of honesty and deep reflection of the reality millions have to endure on a daily basis.

Again, it is clear that only the DA in government can turn around the state of this province to the benefit of the people of North West, improving the lives of people through creating an honest an professional police service, stopping corruption, speeding up the delivery of quality services and opening fair access to real, long-term jobs.
Mokgoro failed to rise to the occasion and give a clear vision for the province, especially around the safety of vulnerable rural communities.
During a march ahead of the SOPA, we again highlighted our demands for the reinstatement of rural safety units and to call for a better-equipped, better trained, better resourced, better trained police service.
The DA is the only party who can bring real change to North West and build a true One South Africa For All.
