2019 ELECTIONS DEBATE: Opposition looks to partnerships while ANC points to DA-led coalition 'failures' By Greg Nicolson gregnicolson
The ANC on Friday continued to point to protests erupting in parts of Johannesburg and Tshwane as signs of failing DA-led coalition governments.
Speaking on protests in Hammanskraal and the lack of water supply in the area, Botes said: “If there’s a problem of basic services we must be able to hold accountable those who are leading Tshwane municipality.”If you are saying as the voter there’s a failed state of governance in Tshwane, I’m saying let us vote them out,” he said.
DA spokesperson Refiloe Nt’sekhe said Ramaphosa and the ANC’s commitment to service delivery was hollow. Ramaphosa visited Alexandra as leader of the ANC rather than government while campaigning and not there to offer the state’s help.

2019 Elections: Analysis: Western Cape: Ramaphosa ticks off trains and farmers in a tight stump programmePresident Cyril Ramaphosa on the stump is personable and talks on just about anything and everything.
