With the state of the province address falling on the same day as the start of the DA Eastern Cape Congress, only two of the opposition party MPLs will attend.
The DA in the province has devised a turnaround strategy for financially distressed municipalities in the Eastern Cape whose sorry state affects the delivery of services. DA MPLs recently embarked on a two-week oversight visit to 13 affected municipalities to speak to their public representatives, business forums and civil society about issues affecting the people, due to maladministration.
