In a recent interview with Carte Blanch, Northern Cape Premier Zamani Saul attempted to justify the state of decay in Kimberley, dismissing concerns about sewage flooding the streets with a condescending tone.
Blaming the past apartheid regime and urban development for the city’s woes, Premier Saul failed to acknowledge the ruling party’s three decades of accountability, including mismanagement of funds allocated to rectify these issues.
Adding to the irony is Cliff Hodgson, a resident on the same street, whose home has unwittingly become a waterfront property due to sewage flowing underneath it. Yes, you read that correctly—faeces, tampons, and toilet paper are running beneath his house, right under Premier Saul’s nose.
The residents of Kimberley deserve better. As a fellow resident, I share their frustrations and refuse to accept excuses for the lack of action. It’s time for real change, and ActionSA is here to deliver it.
While Premier Saul deflects responsibility, ActionSA offers a vision for Kimberley and the entire Northern Cape—a vision of accountable leadership, efficient service delivery, and inclusive development.
We refuse to accept the status quo. ActionSA pledges to prioritize infrastructure maintenance and upgrades, ensuring that essential services like sewage and water systems meet the needs of our growing community.
Unlike Premier Saul, who dismisses concerns and twists words, ActionSA listens to the people. We will engage with municipalities transparently, holding them accountable for their actions and ensuring that taxpayer funds are used effectively.
Furthermore, ActionSA is committed to addressing the housing crisis in the Northern Cape. We will expedite housing projects and ensure that promises made to residents are fulfilled promptly and with integrity.
It’s time for a new era of leadership in the Northern Cape—one that prioritizes the needs of the people over political posturing. On May 29, 2024, I urge the residents of the Northern Cape to vote for ActionSA and usher in a brighter future for our province.
Together, we can build a Northern Cape that works for everyone.
