FRIDAY BRIEFING | Never mind SA, does the DA need rescuing?
When John Steenhuisen was re-elected leader of the DA in April 2023, he made his plans clear in his acceptance speech.
But Steenhuisen may have regretted his remarks in recent months when the various polls showed not only was the ANC potentially losing support but support for the DA was also declining. This has also been reflected in several by-elections. But it became clear anxiety had crept in at the DA headquarters when Steenhuisen started lambasting smaller parties for campaigning in the Western Cape recently. Recent polls, however, might give us a clue to Steenhuisen's outburst. The DA is in danger of losing its majority in the Western Cape. This is a province where it has a clear track record of good governance. Insight and analysis on the big political story of the week, plus a roundup of top columns and most-read stories.
