DA says it’s ready for local elections

The Democratic Alliance has welcomed the announcement on Wednesday by President Jacob Zuma that the local government elections will be held on August 3‚ saying it is ready.

“We are ready and prepared for these crucial elections and on Saturday‚ 23 April 2016‚ the DA will launch our Manifesto at the Rand Stadium in Johannesburg‚” said DA leader Mmusi Maimane.

He said that over the coming months the party would travel the length and breadth of South Africa offering its message of change that would create jobs‚ deliver better services and stop corruption.

“Yesterday‚ the ANC showed us just how much they have changed. They are no longer the party of Nelson Mandela. We cannot sit back and let our country shift off the course that we set ourselves on in 1994.

“That is why from Cape Town to Tshwane‚ from Nelson Mandela Bay to Johannesburg‚ we will tell South Africans that we can get our country moving in the right direction again if we all stand together and vote for the Democratic Alliance on 3 August 2016‚” Maimane stated.
