All DA supporters are welcome to attend the planned activities.
For a photographic round up of recent activity on Facebook, such as Paddy catching a MyCiti bus after our Election info table on Derry Street; Campaigning in Woodstock with Ward 55 last Saturday, which was great fun; and last night’s DA Blue Wave at St Peters with our high energy Min of Housing Madikizela.
