UPDATE – De Lille: Budget must become pro-poor

GOOD Party leader Patricia de Lille urged South Africans to vote in the local elections and not lose faith in their democracy. Speaking outside the voting station at Pinelands High School, she said elections give citizens a chance to put forward ideas and seek new solutions to frustrations with government. De Lille said the next Western Cape government should redirect its budget to spend more in previously disadvantaged areas and address past imbalances.
