CAPE TOWN - The Democratic Alliance will find it hard to deliver election promises of a provincial police service and locally managed rail network. The party received the most votes in the Western Cape after the count in the province was completed on Friday afternoon.
The DA leads with 55.45% of the vote while the African National Congress has 28.64% and the EFF 4.04%. The DA had promised the electorate a provincially managed police service and rail network. But with the African National Congress well on its way to a majority victory nationally, the DA's promises may never materialise.
The DA's Alan Winde, who is set to become the next Western Cape premier, said the party would continue to negotiate with national government. “They’re very tough promises. We’ve made promises with safety. I said we’ve got to bring change in public transport and we don’t have that mandate.”
Take care of your own constituents and stuff the rest. When the shit hits the fan then remind them who they voted for.

Perception is that the IEC was not fully prepared for this elections International observers only come to the country to enjoy South African beef and the good wine. How can they praise the IEC when some voting stations had no ballot papers. When some people voted more than once? They must go to hell man. The ANC controlled IEC messed up.
