The DA release a statement saying that Premier Supra Mahumapelo must choose to put the people of the North West first, and reject a ridiculous plan to buy himself a lavish private jet using public money.
“In the province with the highest unemployment rate in South Africa, at a shocking 44,6%, it is simply unconscionable that Supra could put himself first and prepare to purchase a multi-million rand jet, rather than spend money on creating jobs and opportunities. Our people do not have jobs because his government has failed to grow the economy, failed to create jobs, and professionalized corruption with irregular expenditure increasing by R1 billion this year alone, now totaling R3 billion a year” read the statement
The party lamented the choice to try and buy a jet while funds could be diverted to the Mahikeng airport.
“Our province needs the connections of a more available Mahikeng airport, not a luxury jet for ANC political elites, The DA will not let Supra push through a luxury jet that will have no benefit for the people of the North West. We demand money is spent on creating jobs, not jets. ” Said Joe McGluwa in a statement
