# The DA says the decision to allocate no funding to the Isiqalo Youth Fund leaves young people in the Eastern Cape without a clear support programme and reflects weak performance and oversight. The party will ask the Auditor-General to investigate whether the fund delivered value for money and whether public funds were properly managed. The DA’s Vicky Knoetze says the absence of funding for the 2026/2027 financial year comes amid high unemployment in the province.
