Please find attached a soundbite by Emma Louise Powell MP.
The DA welcomes the announcement that the Presidency will be intervening on the issue of Sandton Drive.
The Presidency is correct in indicating that this issue is harmful to SA – US relations and is an unnecessary provocation at this time. The USA is one of our largest trade and investment partners, and the renaming issue does not help our country’s efforts to stabilise relations.
The DA stands ready to support the closure of this embarrassing chapter for the City of Johannesburg.
