2019 ELECTIONS: KWAZULU-NATAL: Maimane warns of potential dirty tricks at voting stations By Rebecca Davis becsplanb
Forget Ramaphoria – at a tent set up by the DA on sports fields in KwaMashu on Tuesday morning, Mamainemania was in the air.
A grinning Maimane, flanked by the DA’s KZN Premier candidate Zwakele Mncwango and the DA’s chief whip in Parliament John Steenhuisen, seemed in good spirits with less than 24 hours to go before the 8 May polls open.if the DA had chosen the location for their final rally in response to the SA Institute of Race Relations’s eleventh-hour poll suggesting that the ANC may lose its majority in KwaZulu-Natal, Maimane said that the province had been a priority for the party from the start.
Maimane denied that the DA had focused its KZN campaigning in Indian areas like Chatsworth, saying that the party was not interested in targeting any particular race group: “We are the only party that will grow in Chatsworth as we will in Umlazi.” Chief whip Steenhuisen told the DA supporters gathered in KwaMashu that they must “watch carefully” during the voting process to make sure all protocols were observed.You must watch these guys, they’ve been in the corruption business for 25 years,” Steenhuisen told the crowd.
