The Democratic Alliance (DA) has reiterated that it’s confident of a win in Gauteng in the May 8 national and provincial elections.
The party will be launching its election manifesto at the Rand Stadium in Johannesburg on Saturday.
More than 20 thousand people are expected to attend the manifesto launch. Party leader, Mmusi Maimane, will address the crowd around midday. Themed ”Manifesto for Change’, the DA says it has a solution driven blueprint for all South Africans.
“Yes the DA will be out here in our masses, we expecting around 20 000 people for this event – the biggest event ever held by the DA. And this reminds me of April 2016 when we hosted our campaign right here in the very same venue – and this time around, two or three years later we hosting the event in a DA metro,” says Gauteng DA leader, John Moodey.
