The concerns I raise below were shared with me at Nkosi Mzolisi Diliza’s thanks-giving ceremony, in December 2022, who is also a businessman, where many prominent Eastern Cape citizens were present, including Professor Nkuhlu, Advocate Lusu, Nkosi Phathekile Holomisa, Deputy Minister of Correctional Services, businessman Sabelo Macingwane and many others. We informally chatted about the deterioration of the Eastern Cape, especially in the villages and rural towns where infrastructure is collapsing, and there seems to be no coordinated programme of service delivery. To compound matters, it is the meagre infrastructure that exist that people take out their frustrations upon, and destroy, when they are protesting.
Sabelo Macingwane was axed from his position in 2019 on the back of a motion of no confidence. However, he maintains that the motion was passed during a meeting which wasn’t properly convened.

The National African Federated Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Nafcoc) has nearly 1,400 members in the Eastern Cape, but the vast majority of the rural membership is unaware of the government's financial incentive programmes to stimulate growth. “This has to change,” said secretary-general Chwayita Zituta.
