The DA held a virtual briefing on their readiness for the upcoming local government elections.

Candidate submissions were reopened and allowed for parties to make submissions on September 21.

The DA argued that the conclusion would be ineluctable, given the IEC’s previous disqualifications of other parties for missing deadlines in the 2011 and 2016 elections – decisions that were upheld by the Electoral Court at the time.“Our job, as an opposition, is to keep an eagle-eye on the IEC and to raise questions and concerns. I still maintain if it was the DA that never got their candidate lists, it would have been a completely different story.

“The IEC, in their own papers, said they couldn’t open the candidate lists again, but then two-and-a-half weeks later… somersault… suddenly they can open again. It’s something we are going to have to watch,” he said.

And now he is the project of FF+... these deputy whites and their need for proximity to whiteness just don't learn. No, the da was a project for you.
