Elections2019: Our_DA wary of shift in Western Cape voters WeekendArgus PayiBulelwa

It launched its provincial election plan of action on Saturday at the Bellville Velodrome, bringing out its top leaders, including Mmusi Maimane, in a show of support for premier candidate Alan Winde.“There will be political parties - some brand new - that will campaign on the idea that if you are black you must vote for this party and if you are white you must vote for this party,” he said, while Winde called on the party supporters to join him in the “fight for an even better Western Cape”.

“But they have failed in addressing poverty, handling certain ethical and moral issues within the party - these will haunt them.“Someone who was an insider is now their enemy; they should be worried and panicking,” he said. But at the manifesto launch, DA leaders launched scathing attacks on the ANC, describing it as a corrupt party while calling for devolution of certain powers to the province. Maimane described the Western Cape as the best run province in the country - a province that “is DA-blue” and corruption-free.

“The truth is our post-liberation era of governance for all is modelled here in this very province. While they talk, we do,” he told his supporters. “I will fight to devolve police powers and resources to the provincial government to establish a provincial police service we will also fight for our own provincial rail service under a DA government,” Winde said.

OPINIONISTA: An apartheid society has been recreated in Helen Zille’s Western CapeHelen Zille has been talking about her capable administration and her competent appointments since the day she took the Premier’s office and also during her last State Of the Province Address. She spoke about the efficiency of her administration and her appointments. Yet, when one takes a deep-dive into her administration, one will see she has been guilty of equating the word ‘capable’ as a synonym for ‘white’ and ‘male’. AmbassadoRasool I wonder why anyone still gives Ebrahim 'brown envelope' Rasool any airtime AmbassadoRasool This guy is a know brainless ska donk trying to raise his dead horse ANC ... let him dream AmbassadoRasool If I have to choose between the TWO EVILS OF CORRUPTION AND RACISM,I will choose the latter with the hope that when a new Government of the EFF takes over,the State is not bankrupt.
