And as with all heated debates, the most valuable intervention is information.
There are offices for the premier, the speaker, the deputy speaker and all ministers, as well as departmental offices. There is ministerial housing as well as housing for the speaker, deputy speaker, premier and senior managers. There are 131 four-roomed apartments to accommodate MPLs; far more than is needed. Instead, the ANC-led government has squandered billions of rand renting duplicate space.
It is understandable that business is afraid of further decline. But clinging to something that is not working is not the way to ensure survival. Mr Harper is right about one thing. The decision to move the capital from Pietermaritzburg to Ulundi is not mentioned in the IFP’s national or provincial manifesto. This is because we believe that in-depth engagement is needed on how best to move forward in a way that will protect Pietermaritzburg from continuing to run at a loss or being saddled with outrageous debt.
It is unconscionable to duplicate in Pietermaritzburg what already exists in Ulundi when there is absolutely no money to waste. The prudent use of finances is a fundamental responsibility of government, and one that the IFP will vigorously champion.
