“There’s no way one party will win Gauteng with majority. All parties in Gauteng will have to work together to render services to our communities.” He said in terms of the polling the DA used, “which was always right”, indications were that ANC’s support would fall below 40% in Gauteng and nationally.

“This is why we’ve already started even putting our government document together, talking about what we want to achieve when we get in and how we will be able to run an effective government.”He said this did not necessarily mean the DA would engage with only one party. She said it was important to rethink the idea of winning and losing. “It’s not simply about getting 51%. It’s about being able to put together a government of parties that are able to work together to deliver on behalf of the citizens.
