The complaint revolves around Ramaphosa’s pledge to create 500,000 jobs, allegedly funded by taxpayers’ money rather than ANC funds., Steenhusien criticised the ANC in Gauteng, accusing them of “manipulating” residents through the Nasi Ispani programs. “And when they go and say; ‘Mr Premier and Mr President, where are the jobs that you promised us? They will say what jobs? We never promised jobs. That is what the ANC has been doing since 1994. These are empty promises and empty undertakings,” said Steenhuisen.
“The campaign to delegitimise our efforts won’t succeed. It’s better to criticise us for doing something than accuse us of sleeping on the job! Our attempts are real. You may choose to condemn us, it’s your choice! Less talk, more work,” said Lesufi. Instead, Premier Lesufi doubled down on his gimmicks with the introduction of new employment schemes like “Green Army”, “Aga le Rona Road workers” and “Sawbona Mhlali” to name just a few.
