Less than a month ago the Western Cape Gov stepped in to remove a growing refuse pile in the centre of Knysna. Once again the municipality has let the situation deteriorate, at the height of the tourism season. The municipality can’t clean up the refuse, they can’t supply clean water, and there are significant sewage leaks into the lagoon. Our team are completing a diagnostic report on the municipality in line with our Constitutional mandate and responsibility to determine the appropriate action in the interests of the residents of the municipality. 📌

Today, we honour his memory.🇿🇦 This is the Madiba Room at Leeuwenhof, kept exactly as it was 32 years ago - the desk where Nelson Mandela sat, the bed where he slept the night before delivering his first State of the Nation address, the same view of the mountain he would have looked out on while adding the final touches to a speech that shaped a nation. In his memory, we give 67 minutes today, with kindness. What are you doing with yours? Let us know below. #MandelaDay #67Minutes

The Western Cape is leading South Africa on jobs - again! 💪 The province's unemployment rate has dropped to below 20%. This is proof that our growth and jobs strategies is working, but we know there’s still more to do.

I am deeply concerned by the call for a nationwide shutdown by the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) planned for next Monday, 20 March. Threats of violence, looting of businesses, intimidation, and disruption of services are totally unacceptable.

Today, I was re-elected to lead the Western Cape Government (WCG) for another 5-year term at the first sitting of the 7th administration of the Western Cape Provincial Parliament. It is a profound honour and privilege that I have been given. In my first term of office, we achieved so much in our efforts to address the wicked problems facing this province, but I know that many of those still remain. As I crisscrossed this province, I saw how many of our residents are struggling and the responsibility that we as government have to step in and provide that critical social safety net for each of them. I owe it to you our residents to work even harder as I lead this government once more.

We have repeatedly warned national government about the crisis at the Cape Town port. 🚨 It's a complete mess! Give us our federal powers to fix this critical logistics hub to protect jobs and grow our 🇿🇦 economy.
