Rasool: The ANC has accepted that the DA will govern WC

CAPE TOWN - The African National Congress in the Western Cape has resigned itself to the fact that it will remain in the opposition benches of the provincial parliament.

The Democratic Alliance will retain control of the province. It’s sitting with 55% of the provincial vote. All indications are that the ANC will remain the official opposition in the province for another five years.While he refused to concede before the official announcement, Rasool said the results were clear.

“I think the ANC has accepted that it must the be opposition in the Western Cape. The ANC has accepted that the DA will govern.”“We need to hold the DA accountable over the next five years. That’s our role. We must be a good opposition. We can’t oppose as we did in the last year, where we were not a good opposition.”

...and the lesson is simply....as long as Rasool heads up the ANCorrupt in the WC, the DA will govern.
