Eastern Cape premier promises corruption report

Eastern Cape Premier Nosimo Balindlela has delivered a rambling 40-minute reply to the debate on her Policy Speech succeeding in avoiding all the contentious points that had been raised during two hours of debate apart from saying that she was “committed” to bringing the report of the Pillay Commission to the House.

In addition, she apologised for not attending committee meetings saying she had had other duties.

Had she been there, she said, she would have been able to assist the committee.

Balindlela said that despite the fact that in 2007/08 more than 1 000 cases had been sorted out as far as litigation was concerned “we still have a long way to go”, adding “if you have any advice you can give us because it is long drawn out process.
