The DA’s Roy Jankielsohn‚ leader of the official opposition in the legislature‚ said: “The DA cannot in good conscience add legitimacy to the premiership of a severely compromised individual. In addition to hosting an expensive farewell function disguised as a Sopa event‚ the Free State legislature has failed to effectively hold Magashule to account for the numerous allegations of maladministration and corruption that surround his administration.
“It is just grandstanding on his part and a very expensive farewell party.”
He added that Magashule did not deserve to deliver a state of the province address.
“The people of the Free State deserve better and the DA will work towards bringing a new beginning to the province which would be characterised by good governance‚ economic growth‚ job creation and quality service delivery to all‚” said Jankielsohn.
