Did you know it is possible to see the Milky Way from Cape Town? Most of the time, light pollution makes this very difficult, if not impossible. But once every few years the stars line up over an April new moon and a thick rolling fog dampens the light just enough to attempt a…
🇿🇦 🤩 Watch the latest DA TV advert. There is a clear pathway to victory, opposition parties have united as the Multi-Party Charter For South Africa to form a new government that works. For the first time in 30 years the ANC will lose its majority! Unite to #RescueSA, vote DA.
📌 Our country’s economy is in crisis, but the DA's Economic Policy will #RescueSA. This policy aims to unleash economic growth and create jobs. Read more about our bold solutions here:da.org.za/2024/04/da-ann… #DAeconomicPolicy
Cape Town will never stop investing to make residents in our city safer, even with the limited resources we have. While we fight for more policing powers for our officers, we’re still doing all we can now. We've added hundreds of new vehicles to our safety fleet! 🚨🚔…
🎉 The DA-run City of Cape Town has added over 360 000 new jobs in just two years! Thousands of people are moving their families and businesses to DA-run Cape Town. Residents under DA governments experience the benefits of the DA's solid financial management and good governance.
JUST-IN: The NCOP has passed the #ClimateChangeBill All 9 provinces voted in favour. The Bill was approved without amendments and will be sent to the President for signing and assent pmg.org.za/bill/1065/
🚨 The DA has won a court case against the IEC, ensuring more voting stations for South Africans overseas. The DA remains committed to accessible voting stations for all. To learn more about moving to a new station via the VEC 10 process, visit da-abroad.org.

🇿🇦 Here's why the DA is uniting South Africans behind the #RescueSA mission to lift millions of people out of desperate poverty. In the space of a year, over 15 000 cases of severe acute malnutrition required hospitalisation. Read the DA's plan now at rescuesa.org.za

🇿🇦United we can stop the decay and #RescueSA by electing a new, caring government to get things done. Watch the DA manifesto highlights here, and join the mission to end load-shedding, tackle violent crime, and lift people out of poverty by creating jobs: rescuesa.org.za
💡 The DA-run City of Cape Town's #CashForPower project has already put over R25.8 million back into the pockets of businesses and households who have been selling their excess electricity back to the City. Cape Town is working hard to keep the lights on and end load-shedding.
This intervention by @radeksikorski 🇵🇱 in the 🇺🇳 Security Council today will be a classic. Not much left of 🇷🇺 after that.
🚨 Here are some of the explosive ANC cadre deployment secrets exposed by the DA. No government department or entity may advertise its vacancies or jobs before the ANC decides who from the ANC should be favoured. Visit CadreDeploymentRecords.co.za. #CadreGate #CadreDeploymentRecords
🌟 The DA's Rescue Plan for SA is a beacon of hope. Anchored by priorities focused on economic growth, ending load-shedding, fiscal stability, and support for the vulnerable, it will chart a path towards prosperity. Learn more about the #DAmanifesto at rescuesa.org.za
