Municipal elections 2016 – Focus on the DA

The Democratic Alliance (DA) are like titans fighting corruption within the government and private sector. The official opposition to the governing African National Congress (ANC). The DA is broadly defined as a centrist party. The DA can trace its roots back to 1959 as the founder of the anti-apartheid Progressive Party, with many name changes in between.

The former leader of the DA Helen Zille said that the party is reflective of the rich racial, linguistic and cultural heritage.” Today, that definition remains spot-on, and the current leader Mmusi Maimane continues to forge together the intensity of all peoples in South Africa.

The DA has exposed corruption over the past years by alerting the government to the arms deal, the oil gate scandal. The Chancellor House deal with Hitachi Africa and many other shady deals have been brought into the light.

Investment in infrastructure to stimulate growth and dependable service delivery to communities is what the DA will deliver. Permanent jobs can be created if conditions of the government remain corrupt free and are face lifted to serve the community.

Investment in a strong government will ensure that job creation is maintained. Corruption according to the DA chases away investors and keeps people poor.

While governing the Western Cape for the last five years, there is a tremendous improvement with service deliveries and the proven record that the DA does deliver on the end of corruption and job creation. People speak of creating a better life for all, and the DA are actually delivering on their promise.

A quality education is essential, according to Zille and will create the opportunity to obtain a decent job and the proper governance practiced in the Western Cape will be spread to all the other provinces of South Africa.

It is a known fact that the African National Congress (ANC), the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the South African Communist Party (SACP) all govern with communist ideology. While the DA and other minority parties within South Africa lean toward a capitalist strategy.

The urge toward a competent government remains the call for the people of the country. While the majority of people in South Africa remain uninformed of the facts between capitalism and socialism, the leaders of the political parties continue to manifest a perfect government if elected, and none have delivered. The DA party of South Africa stays committed to stamping out corruption.
