“For a year-and-a-half we have been in campaign mode. During the pandemic we have been on the phones talking to voters, asking them to register to vote and vote DA,' provincial leader Francois Rogers.
But beyond blue posters on lampposts across the province, the DA leader in the province said the party began speaking to voters more than a year ago.
“For a year-and-a-half we have been in campaign mode. We did not wait for the Constitutional Court to tell us what to do. During the pandemic we have been on the phones talking to voters, asking them to register to vote and vote DA, and I say thank you to each and every one of you democrats,” said Rogers.“The DA has been on the campaign trail, engaging and mobilising voters for some time already, while our opponents are still trying to work out who their candidates will be.
Rogers said early engagement with voters from all walks of life had ensured that the party had made inroads and got a head start. “We have key strategic wards throughout the province, in particular in uMngeni, where we would like to govern. That is going to be our focus.”“There is no factionalism, we are paying our staff, our ward candidate selection was smooth and everybody is focused on the election, not any internal matters,” he added.
The DA has promised effective and efficient governance focused on revenue generation that goes into addressing service delivery, upliftment of communities in need and the provision of services.
