We are ready for 2019 elections: Maimane

Democratic Alliance leader, Mmusi Maimane says internal battles and challenges his party is facing, will not negatively affect their performance during next year’s national and provincial elections.

He was responding to setbacks for the party like the Cape Town Mayor issue, the resignation of Marietha Aucamp -the under-qulaified former Chief of Staff at Tshwane Metro, and the recent return of MP Nosimo Balindlela to the ANC.

Maimane says rather than focus on these matters, South Africans should give the DA a chance to prove that it will always hold to account all those who are on the wrong side of the law. He says the party is more than ready for 2019 elections.

“The structures are ready, we are election ready and we are moving forward. We want to call on all South Africans to make a choice, they can go with the corrupt ANC or a DA that acts and that shows that where we govern, unemployment is on the decline. That must the focus of all South Africans.”
