CAPE TOWN - While the Democratic Alliance was confident it would remain in charge in the Western Cape, the African National Congress said it was satisfied with its performance so far, adding it had laid the base for a comeback in the 2021 local government elections.
With nearly 80% of votes captured the DA was sitting on just over 51% in the province. The ANC was trailing at nearly 32%. With the Western Cape’s elections outcome due to be announced at midday on 10 May, the ANC and DA were already gearing up for their next battle; the local government elections in 2021.“We described the ANC in the Western Cape as having been in intensive care after the 2016 local government elections, especially when we [it] ended up with 26% of the votes. I think where we are now is that we’ve entered the recovery ward,” Rasool said.
Rasool said the party had laid the base for the next municipal elections but was still building trust.The DA’s premier candidate, Alan Winde, said it was game on.
Hard to watch a grown man cry...well almost. Not that I support the DA but this is surely Karma
