The Democratic Alliance in the Western Cape has won Ward 4 in Hessequa from the African National Congress and retained two wards in Stellenbosch and George during by-elections held on Wednesday.
DA provincial leader Bonginkosi Madikizela said the greatest win for the party was in Ward 4 Hessequa where the party took the ward off the ANC.“This is the very first time the DA has won this ward. This victory means that the DA now holds the majority in the Hessequa municipality. In Stellenbosch, the DA retained Ward 9 with a 98% majority vote and in George, we retained Ward 18 with 74% of the vote,” said Madikizela in a statement.
He said these results showed that residents continued to place their trust in the clean, effective, and efficient governance that only the DA could bring. “These wins and gains are indicative of the DA’s growth in the Western Cape, where more and more residents are voting for a DA. Furthermore, these wins show that the people of the Western Cape refuse to be divided along racial lines or race-baited by the ANC’s desperation for relevance in our province. It is clear that in the Western Cape, we are well on our way to building One South Africa For All,” Madikizela said.
