ANC in Western Cape thrilled that DA majority was reduced in the province

The Western Cape said it was thrilled to see the DA in decline in the Western Cape.

The percentage in votes was down from the 26.26% secured five years ago.

“In places like Bitou, we won six wards, out of 11. In Knysna seven out of 11 and in George, we have seven out 10. We were actually taking wards from the DA.” “That is a matter we need to address. People who did not vote are traditional people who vote for the ANC. Rain in some parts of the province affected us, for that we are extremely saddened and extremely taken aback.”“Yes, we are upset. To me the story is not about the ANC gaining or losing support. The story in the Western Cape is about the people waking up to the fuss the DA is and people wake up to unmask the DA for what it is.
