Capable State. Rule of Law. Accountability.

While the GNU brings services to where you live and slashes wait times, the EFF wants you trapped in long queues. This project also enables all citizens to get Smart IDs instead of the insecure Green ID book, abused by illegal immigrants for identity theft. Connect the dots.

[Rikus Badenhorst @RikusBadenhorst]

Brilliant work. If this is what can be achieved in only one year of solid governance, we have a bright future for Home Affairs! Thank you! @Leon_Schreib

[Leon Schreiber @Leon_Schreib]

This morning, we hosted the next leg of our EPWP listening tour in Upington, Northern Cape.

Many participants shared how the programme has played a vital role in poverty alleviation but also highlighted concerns about its misuse.

We are committed to reforming the programme to eliminate any opportunity for jobs-for-pals, political favouritism, or corruption. We are making the EPWP better for everyone! #LetsBuildSA 💙🇿🇦

[John Steenhuisen MP @jsteenhuisen]

Good afternoon, South Africa. The DA will not support the budget in its current form. We will continue to fight for economic growth and jobs. 🇿🇦

As the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, there will be NO expropriation of private property without compensation on my watch. The guarantee of property rights under Section 25 of the Constitution is not up for debate and is non-negotiable.

"Why are these political mercenaries in some small parties obsessed with targeting the Western Cape – the only province that works?" - @jsteenhuisen

✅ 300 000 new jobs in a year
✅ 27 000 arrests made by LEAP officers
✅ Schools work

The real enemy of progress is the ANC!
