The Inkhatha Freedom Party (IFP) in Gauteng welcomes the Budget Speech presented by the MEC, Barbara Creecy earlier today in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature.

“We receive the budget speech which we think was a balancing act between the needs what is available. In the same vein, we are encouraged by the fact that the speech synchronized with the plans announced by the Premier, David Makhura in the State of the Province last week,” said IFP Gauteng Caucus Leader, Bonginkosi Dhlamini.

“Moreover, we recognise and applaud the allocation for improving the inhumane living conditions in hostels and other identified areas of human settlement. This we deem as an important and encouraging commitment towards heeding the cries of the poor in Gauteng,” adds Dhlamini.
