DA leader leader John Steenhuisen said the DA votes in Midvaal increased from 59% in 2016 to 63% in 2021.
Rustenburg – The DA is happy to retain Midvaal Municipality, in Gauteng, with a growing majority, said party leader John Steenhuisen on Tuesday.
“The DA now governs municipalities with outright majorities in three provinces other than the Western Cape. And, in two of those provinces, these municipalities are ranked as the best performing in the province. It is surely only a matter of time before uMngeni joins Midvaal and Kouga on that list,” he said.
“The most encouraging aspect of this comprehensive victory is that all the votes gained came from former ANC voters, who realised that there is no future for towns and cities under an ANC, that has failed for two decades and counting. We have just seen a similar situation unfold in uMngeni, in KwaZulu-Natal , where the DA turned a former ANC stronghold into an outright DA government,” said Steenhuisen.and his team for the great service - governing in the interest of the people.
