Eastern Cape Budget Woes

Yikes! The Eastern Cape provincial government can not account for 88.5% of it’s budget. Of the total budget of R34.1 billion for 2005/6, R30.2 billion is unaccounted for.

Actually I believe in the ANC’s proposed plan to scrap some of the provinces the Eastern Cape was going to be left alone (it being their ‘ancestral homeland’ if you will).

I suppose all those “undertakings” mean carry on with the status quo. Maybe it would be a good time to dismantle the Eastern Cape administration, or indeed the entire Eastern Cape province, and incorporate it into the Western Cape. The people there have already voted with their feet.
