Newsletter| “Ons gaan die Weskaap blou hou [We will keep the Western Cape blue]”: DA leader Mmusi Maimane, parliamentary chief whip John Steenhuisen and other leaders hit the campaign trail “to keep the ANC and the EFF out of the Western Cape”
Pine street in Blue Downs is fittingly a sea of blue announcing the presence of the governing party.
A volunteer from the local ward says she is excited to see Maimane in person for the first time since joining the party in 2016. In a dramatic whisper she says this is not the rural areas where people must be scared to declare who they will vote for even when it is not popular. Then there was the tussle of over the premiership between Alan Winde – who emerged victorious – and the party’s provincial leader Bonginkosi Madikizela.Internal polls from earlier this year showed the party had recovered, placing its prospects at 54%.
“Ons gaan die Weskaap blou hou [We will keep the Western Cape blue],” he shouts to wild applause, quoting a DA voter registration poster which reads: “Register to vote to keep the ANC and the EFF out the Western Cape.”“We want a job in every home,” Maimane says reiterating his choice slogan for this election.
