confronted in 2023. We must maintain our resolve and intensify our efforts to
keep growing our economy, enabling more jobs to be created and making our
communities safer, so that our residents can live in dignity. I look forward to
working with Speaker Mitchell and members of the provincial parliament who play
an important role in governing our province,’’ said Alan Winde, western Cape Premier.
