What Can ANC Claim About The Succesful World Cup? - Patricia de Lille was Wrong!

At the DA's congress Patricia de Lille, in identifying the need for the Government to start delivering, implied that the ANC had succeeded in delivering on the World Cup.

The ANC had missed their service delivery targets for many years, but suddenly it had managed to organise the World Cup, she said.

Whether government should claim that for themselves is debatable - FIFA surely managed everything as was clear from all reports. Without FIFA continually forcing the issue its my contention that it would have been very different.

Is that not after all what is wrong with the current actions - everyone knows we need to create jobs and eliminate poverty! Just read your RDP or ask Jay Naidoo. But the government is incapable of converting money consumption into outputs!

This inability to implement is aggrivated by what de Lille sees:

"The problems are often a result of poor governance and greedy leaders. President Jacob Zuma is in the media for all the wrong reasons and in the meantime service delivery protests are on the increase.

"The real source of poverty is ANC corruption and greed."
