Deputy Speaker, I am sure that the hon member across the aisle will be happy to know that the offending councillor has been suspended by the DA.
On Saturday the DA held a very successful rally in Newtown in Johannesburg. The square was painted blue as more than 6 000 DA activists came to hear the DA's five pledges. [Applause.]
Firstly, no corruption. While the ANC Gauteng provincial government squandered R6,6 billion, the DA-led Western Cape maintained its tradition of clean governance.
Secondly, quality education, and this year the Human Rights Commission said that the Western Cape was the only province to deliver 100% of textbooks for the year. By 2015 they will also be able to add a DA-led Gauteng to this tally. [Applause.]
Thirdly, in terms of the Youth Wage Subsidy, the DA established the Work and Skills programme in the Western Cape, which is a first in the country. We will implement this in 2015 in Gauteng. [Applause.]
Fourthly, concerning economic growth, the DA will implement a red tape to red carpet programme in Gauteng to make it easier for entrepreneurs to set up businesses here.
Lastly, for safe and secure communities, in our first year of government in Gauteng the DA will introduce a community safety Bill, modelled on the same legislation as the Western Cape, making communities safer. The people of Gauteng will vote DA next year. Thank you. [Applause.]
