The DA’s culture of non-payment to suppliers is now well known. The previous DA government simply stopped paying for services. Like its R7 billion Eskom debt, it also failed to pay Rand Water and contractors.
The GOOD Party in the George Municipality has expressed serious concern that the municipality is allowing informal settlements to grow unchecked as a way of avoiding its constitutional responsibility to provide proper housing for residents.
The GOOD Party has expressed deep concern over escalating mismanagement within the George Municipality, where millions of rands are being spent each month while critical posts remain vacant and service delivery continues to decline.
It is disingenuous and pure political point-scoring for the Democratic Alliance to jump on the crime-warden bandwagon in Gauteng. The DA’s own Law Enforcement Advancement Plan (LEAP) in the Western Cape has cost taxpayers more than R4 billion and failed to show tangible results in reducing crime.

Violent crime and gang warfare continue to claim lives indiscriminately, leaving families traumatised and neighbourhoods terrorised.
The GOOD Party congratulates the multi-party coalition government of the City of Tshwane on the tremendous achievements recorded during the past 12 months since being elected to office by the Tshwane Council in October 2024.
