DA accuses ANC of breaking election promises

The Democratic Alliance has blamed the ruling ANC of systematically breaking promises it made before the last municipal elections in 2000. DA Leader Tony Leon says five years ago the ANC undertook to clamp down on corruption, improve service delivery, create jobs; fight crime and build more houses as well as accelerate the fight against HIV/Aids. He says these promises now lie in tatters, and warns that promises made during the campaign for the coming local elections will also be discarded if the ruling party is re-elected.
