DA leader John Steenhuisen has promised his party will not disappoint residents of metros in Gauteng after it put together coalition governments in Johannesburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni.
“That road began with bringing the ANC below 50% at a municipal level and it's going to end in the 2024 election, where we'll do the same in the provincial level but also at a national level. And we're going to end up with a new government at the Union Buildings,” he said.“The real work starts now and that is the road to 2024.
These multiparty coalitions are the first bold steps on this new road to defeating the ANC in 2024, sweeping corruption and maladministration out of the offices and making sure that we put a national government that's going to get South Africa working, that's going to get things done for you and not for the politicians.”
In a joint statement on Wednesday, the multiparty coalition said the agreement meant they would be able to form governments in 22 municipalities across the country. The statement said leaders had committed themselves to forming a responsible coalition that will act in the best interest of citizens.
