DA does more for farm workers than corrupted Zuma ANC ever did
Marius Fransman's campaigning yesterday in De Doorns was a disgrace (see Cape Argus report).
The ANC under Jacob Zuma is corrupt and is focusing on enriching its own leaders. The result is that 1.4 million more people are unemployed than when Jacob Zuma took over as president in 2009. South Africa is sliding backwards because of the corruption in Zuma's ANC.
In contrast, the DA-run Western Cape has a clean government that is lowering unemployment. The Western Cape has the lowest unemployment rate in South Africa. We are working to create more jobs for everyone. This makes life better for everyone, including farm workers and other rural communities.
The province's share of agricultural employment in South Africa has increased from 20% in 2009 to 23% in 2013. This shows how we have created more jobs in agriculture than the other ANC-run provinces.
Marius Fransman and the ANC know they can't win the debate on creating more jobs, so they are talking nonsense to try and divide people against each other. It is a sign of the ANC's arrogance - they campaign on lies and make false promises.
