DA's Msimanga writes to Ramaphosa about Gauteng makeover for G20 visit
Executive Summary
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng has criticized President Cyril Ramaphosa's intervention in Johannesburg through a presidential working group aimed at fixing the city's finances and infrastructure, accusing him of acting primarily due to the upcoming G20 summit rather than genuine concern for residents. DA Gauteng leader Solly Msimanga, in an open letter, blamed years of ANC mismanagement and corruption for the city's decay, proposing priorities like resident consultations, transparent oversight, automatic criminal charges for corruption, and a public portal for input. He views the move as a no-confidence in current leadership and calls for new elections to ensure long-term improvements beyond the G20.
