MORE than 100 000 South Coasters voted in last week’s elections.
With 75,62 percent, the ANC has a two-thirds majority in this area and is to be congratulated on its overwhelming win.
The DA claimed 15,56 percent, 3,52 percent went to the IFP and the NFF got 1,44 percent.
Perhaps now is the time for the debate to shift from merely criticising to discussing different policies and ideas that will work for the South Coast.
The biggest problem facing this region is unemployment and a lack of service delivery.
We need to push for job creation.
It’s time to stop talking about who has delivered what and find ways to attract investment and growth which in turn will offer employment.
And the local municipalities need to start listening to the complaints of the people and they need to treat their ratepayers a lot better.
