DA leader John Steenhuisen says the party has recovered from the 2019 crisis when its erstwhile leader Mmusi Maimane quit months after a disastrous election performance.
Steenhuisen said the party will focus on winning small towns in the elections. In previous elections, the party paid more attention to winning metropolitan municipalities.
He is concerned, however, that the smaller parties contesting elections may hamper the DA's chances of winning, which may work in favour of the ANC. He said such parties did not go after the ANC but tried to weaken the DA. Both the smaller party and the DA would not get enough votes to win the ward, and the ANC or the EFF, the DA's toughest competitors, would win in the end.
