Gauteng CoGTA MEC Jacob Mamabolo has hit back at ActionSA, defending his department’s efforts and progress in addressing the challenges faced by the province.
In a recent press conference, Mamabolo responded to the criticisms leveled against his department by ActionSA, a newly formed political party. The party had accused the CoGTA department of failing to deliver on its mandate and called for Mamabolo’s resignation.
However, the MEC did not shy away from addressing the accusations and instead chose to set the record straight. He highlighted the achievements of his department and reaffirmed his commitment to serving the people of Gauteng.
Mamabolo stated that the challenges faced by the province are not unique to his department and are a result of decades of neglect and mismanagement. He stressed that his department has been working tirelessly to address these issues and make a positive impact in the lives of the people.
One of the main areas of criticism by ActionSA was the lack of progress in providing basic services such as water and sanitation to informal settlements. However, Mamabolo pointed out that his department has made significant strides in this regard, with over 90% of informal settlements in the province now having access to basic services.
He also highlighted the department’s efforts in improving service delivery in other areas, such as housing and infrastructure development. Mamabolo stated that the CoGTA department has delivered over 100,000 housing units in the past year, providing much-needed shelter to thousands of families.
In response to the call for his resignation, Mamabolo remained unfazed and stated that he is fully committed to fulfilling his duties as the MEC of CoGTA. He emphasized that he is accountable to the people of Gauteng and will continue to work tirelessly to improve their lives.
The MEC also took the opportunity to remind ActionSA that the challenges faced by the province cannot be solved overnight and require a collaborative effort from all stakeholders. He urged the party to work together with the government in finding solutions to the issues faced by the people of Gauteng.
Mamabolo’s strong and confident response to the criticism from ActionSA has reassured the people of Gauteng that their government is actively working towards addressing their needs. His unwavering commitment to his duties and determination to improve the lives of the people is commendable.
The MEC’s firm stance and positive attitude have also sent a clear message to other political parties that he will not be deterred by baseless accusations and will continue to work towards achieving the goals of his department.
In conclusion, Gauteng CoGTA MEC Jacob Mamabolo’s response to ActionSA’s criticism has demonstrated his dedication and commitment to serving the people of Gauteng. His achievements and progress in addressing the challenges faced by the province speak for themselves and are a testament to his hard work and determination.
