The FF Plus will boycott Tuesday’s State of the Province Address by Free State premier, Ace Magashule.
The FF Plus said that the “Free State 2018 provincial address will be nothing more than an over-the-top farewell party for Ace Magashule and that it will not be a true reflection of the ANC’s failures under his leadership.”
“For this reason, the FF Plus will boycott the provincial address that is scheduled to be delivered by Magashule,” said FF Plus MPL, Tammy Wessels.
She said due to serious allegations of state capture in the Estina and Vrede Dairy Project, which Magashule approved as premier and that he defended since its inception, the FF Plus’s standpoint is that he should rather stay away from all Free State matters.
“The provincial address simply cannot be delivered by an individual that was politically involved in, and possibly benefited from, the so-called Dairy scandal.
“Magashule’s legacy as premier is not one that deserves to be celebrated. His inability to manage the province in a way that benefits its residents and the numerous allegations of irregularities in the Free State have greatly damaged the province,” Wessels said.
