An Evening with John Steenhuisen MP

The 2016 Local Government Election is upon us. This election is extremely important for the future of South Africa, and we can ensure you that we are working tirelessly to ensure that not only the City of Cape Town stays blue, but that we are given the chance to govern other metros in other provinces.

In preparation and as a fundraiser, the DA Ward 57 branch will be hosting a get together with DA Chief Whip, the Hon. Steenhuisen, at 18h30 on 15 July 2016 at La Bottega, Woodstock – 160 Sir Lowry Road.  Here you will hear about the inspiring plans the DA has for achieving what we all deserve in South Africa.

Way to go Ward 57

Yet another Ward 57 success. A perfect venue, great food, and a rousing speech from John made for an enjoyable political evening.  The DA has the policy, it has the people now you as the voter must turn out on the 3rd to give us the votes.

Protecting South Africa’s Fragile Democracy

This lecture was delivered by Mmusi Maimane on Tuesday 21 June 2016 at the London School of Economics. 

Given the prevailing sentiment towards my country at the moment, let me start out by saying that I have never been more positive about the future of South Africa than I am now.

If you have ever visited South Africa, which I hope you have, you may have been to the Cradle of Humankind just north of Johannesburg, where the oldest skeletons of the human species have been found. The lesson is simple: We have been in South Africa for 3.5 million years, and we will be there for many millennia to come. Don’t misjudge us! We will thrive.
