Western Cape Premier Alan Winde is set to deliver the State of the Province Address (SOPA) on Thursday, 16 February 2023, at the Provincial Legislature.
This is the same day when the fifth session of the sixth
Parliament of the Provincial Government will be open for the 2023 year, by Speaker
of the Western Cape Provincial Parliament (WCPP), Daylin Mitchell.
“I look forward to working with speaker Mitchell who will
take our parliament forward and – along with the members of the provincial
parliament – play a vital role in helping to improve our province and offer our
communities dignity and hope in these challenging times,’’ said Winde.
Winde is expected to give an update on progress made by the
Western Cape Government (WCG) over the past year in delivering on our strategic
priorities, such as growth for jobs, safety, dignity, and wellbeing.
The Premier will also speak to how the WCG is and will
continue to support municipalities, businesses, and residents as we respond to
ongoing load shedding, which is a severe impediment to all of us achieving the
kind of growth we all want and need.
“I will lay out this government’s plans for the coming year
as we intensify our economic recovery which is centred around the citizens of
our great province,” said the Premier.
“This year we must be bold and decisive in tackling
challenges that have for too long been holding us back, namely the energy
crisis and crime. Now more than ever the WCG must go all out to meaningfully
remedy these two critical issues,” said the Premier.
