Mr Speaker, last week Western Cape minister of finance, Alan Winde, tabled the Provincial and Municipal Economic Review and Outlook Report. According to the report, the Western Cape economy has once again outperformed the national economy. It is the province with the lowest unemployment rate in the country and the average per capita income per household is almost double that of the national average.
Contrary to what the ANC tries to make people believe, the Western Cape is the most equal province in terms of income, with a Gini coefficient of 0,63, while the national figure stands at 0,68. The Western Cape also has the lowest HIV/Aids prevalence rate and we have halved the number of household heads without education. We have increased the percentage of those who gained at least a matric by 7%. The figures presented in this report show clearly that where the DA governs, they deliver and they deliver for all. This is what the DA can do if we are voted into government. The voters will have the opportunity to choose this better life at the polls next year and, for the record, every single department in the Western Cape had an unqualified audit. It is very interesting that the ANC regards eight clean audits out of 23 in Gauteng as an achievement, whereas in the Western Cape similar figures are not. Thank you. [Applause.]
