South Africans have given us a historic opportunity to get many towns and cities working for all. We must now rise to the occasion.
We can now say with certainty that roughly 1 million black South Africans voted for the Democratic Alliance on Wednesday, making us a mainstream party in every community.
Voters can see the effort the DA makes to govern well for everyone and improve the living conditions and dignity of every person.
The DA would like to bring parties together around a shared programme of good government for all. I invite every party willing to put residents first to join us.
We seek partners committed to bringing integrity to local government, stable government, zero tolerance for corruption, merit-based appointments, sound financial management and measurable improvements in basic services for all residents.
South Africa can work for everyone. The DA is ready to do our part. 🇿🇦

Good👏🏽
We’ve tasted the stench of bad governance. We surely appreciate the power of our vote now. This is a good indicator. Let’s go🇿🇦

Whatever their reasons why only on the eve of elections? This issue was surely placed on their table the moment they took over office. This is so irresponsible! The @Our_DA must take this up with relevant authorities. Let’s go vote today and let’s do so wisely👏🏽

Our political opponents spent this campaign attacking me and helping the ANC.
While we made this campaign about YOU.
We spoke about our solutions to solve the real service delivery problems that affect you, your family, your business and your community.
We showed up. Now we are asking you to do the same. Vote DA on BOTH BALLOTS and let’s get Joburg working! 🗳️🇿🇦

My final take aways:
Helen Zille ran an incredible campaign. She was intentional, informative and supportive. I’ve never seen a campaign like hers, none comes close. She deserves to win and Joburg desperately needs.
However, that is upto Joburgers and if she loses, all democrats
