Panyaza Lesufi has been re-elected as the premier of Gauteng, South Africa’s economic hub. There is anticipation that his newly formed cabinet might comprise members from both the African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA). This blend could be strategic in addressing the province’s economic hurdles, primarily driven by infrastructure and governance shortcomings.
Gauteng’s economic challenges are substantial, hinging on persistent issues in maintaining and upgrading essential infrastructure and improving governance structures. Lesufi’s leadership and the anticipated cross-party collaboration aim to rejuvenate the province’s economic landscape.
