The DA has accused the ANC of orchestrating violent protests as a means to gain the upperhand ahead of the May elections.
Pockets of service delivery protests have been erupting across the country in recent days.

Although it has refused to share its research, the DA says its internal polls indicate it will retain the Western Cape and snatch Gauteng.
Despite analysts predicting split election results for Gauteng, the DA says coalition talks are not part of its current focus.
