Hon Speaker, on the nomination of Mmusi Maimane as the DA's premier candidate for Gauteng, we noted how the cadres at Luthuli House smirked at his nomination. [Applause.] Need I remind this House that not so long ago the same cadres laughed at the DA's bid to govern the Western Cape.
The DA has publicly announced the candidate for premier for Gauteng, but the ANC remained silent on theirs. In the meantime, the DA's premier candidate, Mmusi Maimane, will campaign tirelessly in every corner and street in Gauteng. Mmusi Maimane will bring the DA's vision to establish an open opportunity society for all to the people of Gauteng. [Interjections.]
The DA-led Gauteng government will establish an environment which will extend opportunities that will empower people to secure jobs that will improve their lives. Under Mmusi Maimane's leadership, the DA will form a government that will focus on clean governance that prioritises people, not the politicians.
Under the DA administration, Gauteng will become a place where services will be delivered; corruption will be the exception not the rule; and where young people will have job opportunities so that they can make a success of their lives. I thank you. [Applause.]
