2019 Elections: Wash, Rinse, Repeat: The DA concludes its 2019 campaign in Dobsonville, reminds SA of ANC’s mistakes

The programme on Saturday was pretty much a repeat of the DA’s manifesto launch rally less than three months ago, down to the same performers, timetable, and promises.

When the DA first started having rallies like these in 2016, there were some big shifts. It gained three metros in cooperation with other opposition parties – Johannesburg, Tshwane and Nelson Mandela Bay – and effectively relegated Jacob Zuma’s ANC to a party of rural power and urban opposition. But that was then, and Cyril Ramaphosa’s ANC is somewhat more appealing to the same kind of voters the DA is after.

He continued by saying the ANC caused suffering in the past 25 years, and now want people to put them in power so they “can steal for another five years”. He reminded the crowd of Ramaphosa’s involvement in calling the police to take action the day before 34 miners at Marikana were shot down, and he said Ramaphosa was deputy president when much of the looting of state coffers took place under Zuma.

“You will find us at the heart of coalition governments, as we build a strong centre in South African politics, free from the divisions of the past,” he said. “The DA represents the future of our changing nation. We may not be perfect, but we’re honest, we work hard and we have a plan to completely reform our country.”
