What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Tandi Mahambehlala, Deputy Minister of Communications, addressed national development issues in the Eastern Cape. He stated that although the government has expanded access to services like water, electricity, roads, and housing, the reach of basic services has not fully reached all citizens, especially those in rural areas. Mahambehlala also noted that the growth of a black middle class has not fundamentally transformed the structure or ownership patterns of the economy.
