Premier Nosimo Balindlela came under attack from the African Peoples Convention this afternoon, with MPL Zingisa Mkabile stating that the failure of the Premier to release the Pillay Commission report into corruption was “unacceptable.
“Where is that report? We voted money for it. It really borders on disrespect for this House that this and the many other reports have not been tabled in this Legislature.
“We are not going to see the reports and the comrades on the right (the ANC) are going to keep quiet. It is a serious situation.”
Calling Balindlela’s administration “a lame duck” Mkabile said it was not surprising that there was no service delivery in the Eastern Cape “because it is clear that the heart does not function”.
As far as the branding of the province was concerns, Mkabile said if the Eastern Cape continued to perform the way it was then this would be “spin-doctoring – there is no point in talking about branding until we have resolved the problems connected with education, health and many other areas”.

it would be good to have a sense of the exact cost fo the Pillay Commission.
Much time and money was spent on this and so far nothing has come out..
It also be great to have a look at the bits of evidence presented.
But in all likelihood much of this stuff is designed to
1. find an excuse to blame the past ANC leaders
2. Find an excuse not to deliver on current programmes
3. Find a set of excuses to employ pals and relatives
At the end the time and money have been wasted with nothing to show
