Eastern Cape Premier Oscar Mabuyane says his administration is working tirelessly to address poverty, unemployment and inequality in the province.

Delivering his third State of the Province Address, Mabuyane said plans were afoot to attract more investors to the province to create job opportunities.Mabuyane says his administration is also investing in improving road infrastructure as part of growing the economy.

“In our plan we said, to address these three challenges, we must: • Build a capable, ethical, and developmental state • Transform the economy and create jobs • Invest in Education, Skills and Health • Consolidate the social wage through reliable and quality basic services • Integrate spatial planning, rural economy, and local government • Build social cohesion and safe communities and lastly • Build a better Africa and the World.

Political analyst, Ongama Mtimka says Mabuyane’s speech was silent on many matters affecting the province. Mtimka says, “He did try on the financial aspect and transparency to talk about the state of accountability but that’s not enough…education, beyond quantitative numbers at the end of the year how much are we assuring that we got. Quality education, it’s silent on that and that is by design. This is the politician’s speech and the completeness of it is only when the debate comes and the Premier is challenged to answer questions.

Our focus is on giving support to small businesses, expanding investment in agriculture, improving government performance, fighting fraud and corruption. Listen on the 23rd Feb 2021

He lies... They busy looting for themselves

Thixo wase George Gosh yerrrrr

This song it's been repeated everywhere over and over again😴

Nxa

May someone remind Mr Mabuyane that 'government is not responsible for creation of jobs'🤣😂

His trying to cover the flop made by their leader that the government won't provide jobs

Lies instead the towns that were thriving before mergers are now the poorest eg Middelburg Cape

Mxm

😂 working doing what EASTERNCAPEGOV

Commission of enquiry is needed in that province, people are enriching themselves n citizens are struggling

As per the usual Empty words! Deceive The Nation Again! The Same Lies! Fake,False And Empty Promises! The Same Hollow Statements! boMabuyane Are Becoming Tedious And Laborious Constantly And Consistently Telling Big,Girnomous And Gigantic Lies Without Morality And Care!

🙄🙄😁the fruits of your efforts are clear for all to see……..The hyenas are still hard at work particularly in the municipalities.

I don't know maybe 10GB will help. 🤔

That's not what you are doing that's simply what's written for you to say angisho uyasutha wena

He wouldn’t know what “working tirelessly” is or what it entails + means!!

Hah!! What a fcuking joke!! How long has he been the premier?

'Tirelessly' he says🤣😅😁😆

Stop misleading the people and lying to the people eastern cape is worse in everything

Well done Sir👌

Working tireless in stealing and enjoying protection from media scrutiny

Waai

Thief addresses poverty, this's ridiculous, its only in ANC that you see this kind of nonsense, corruption is rewarded to the highest bidder

Lol

Have you ever seen a Thief addressing thievery 😳🙄

Akaloxoki

Who truly believes an alleged thief

Hard you say?

MxM 😎

When our politicians make statements like “working tirelessly” and “ working around the clock”, I wonder what they do because they achieve so very little success 😳

I love how he left out corruption

🤣🤣🤣

uyaxoka

Lies through his teeth😲 anc and empty promises in our province yerr

Can he stop addressing them and solve them once and for all. These addressing or engaging are all tiring, but again it might be the right thing, those poor people voted. That's their reward

A broken record this one😂🤞

Lies

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Abo cutting edge.

He has the full backing of his province who voted overwhelmingly for corruption,cadre deployment,stealing from funerals and from the dying! I have no sympathy for EC people,they enjoy swimming in poverty in their steadfast voting for Mandela!

Ok

wow this is one premier that can believe his own lies.

These politicians are always addressing Important matters and not dealing with the problem or coming forward with a solution eastern cape is the most impoverished province,people can't find decent employment,it always the poor that gets caught in the cross fire Ocar is lying .

Nonsense...!!

A theif address porvety it will never happen

Umrhwaphilizi

🤣🤣 OscarMabuyane Lubabalo, when you say addressing, do you mean: speaking about fixing these issues until you leave office? If leaders didn’t take monies to renovate your homes; fund their silly elite lifestyles, we would be in a slightly better place… Please man.

Heyi esisirhama , into esiyaziyo kurhwaphiliza qha

... and corruption.

Useless mabuyane

How These politicians have a tendency of saying they'll do something without elaborating on the action plan. Please marn these guys must respect us.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Ok...

My children crying themselves to sleep because they sleep hungry cripples me as a man. Not knowing where your next meal will come from is heartbreaking. I ask for any food nearing their expiry date or mealie meal. Just so my children can eat 🙏🏻

Working tirelessly? Since when? How you work so tirelessly and have nothing to show for it? Jirre! Funny fuckers in this country nah.

That's a lie. The people of Eastern Cape under anc leadership they have been swimming in a sea of poverty. If I were to compare the anc government & the apartheid government, the apartheid government was way better than anc government. I hate to say this but is the truth.

Oh well I guess Afriforum is working overtime to stop racism.

He doesn't know what he is talking about

Ok

Corruption yona

I doubt it, for a Province that is forever on the news for all the wrong reasons from CORRUPTION to Maladministration.

Weak ke lo ngathi yila lawyer ye Afriforum.. Akhoyakhe

Uyaxoka

What is working tirelessly 🤔idiots

Uthetha i nonsense lomntu.

True. They had to steal funeral money to end poverty

But not corruption , else how will they survive

Mxeleleni ukuba sithi uyazinyela

Mxiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmm
