flag Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi faces backlash over unmet promises, with opposition citing infrastructure decay, job shortfall, and corruption ahead of elections.

flag Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi faces growing criticism ahead of his State of the Province Address as DA leader Solly Msimanga accuses the government of failing to deliver on promises, citing deteriorating infrastructure, widespread power and water outages, dysfunctional traffic lights, and unsafe schools. flag Msimanga highlighted 44% of traffic lights non-functional, over 980 pothole lawsuits, and R199 million in legal fees despite a 72-hour repair pledge. flag He questioned job creation claims, noting only 102,000 jobs created—far below the stated 832,150—and criticized corruption-linked appointments and stalled projects. flag Despite the province’s economic ambitions, ongoing service failures and rising unemployment fuel public distrust ahead of local elections.
