Steenhuisen slams new parties gunning for the Western Cape

DA leader, John Steenhuisen has slammed new political parties who are
gunning for the Western Cape, during a Biz News conference.
He says new formations should've formed part of the so-called moonshot pact, but are instead positioning themselves against the opposition rather than fighting the ANC.
Build One SA's Ayanda Allie, RISE Mzansi Gauteng Convener, Tebogo Moalusi, and ACDP Western Cape Leader, Ferlon Christians discuss this.
Tune into Newzroom Afrika DStv channel 405 for more.

I don't agree with BOSA's politics, but I like the way Ayanda accurately describes Steenhuisen. The most accurate description i have ever heard👏👏👏 And his followers think that he will save South Africa - what a joke.

it's true by any measure you can objectively look at. Unemployment is almost dipping below 20% in the western cape, 10% lower than than the rest of the country.

This is a non debate. We need the ANC out out out, and all oppostion parties must unite to achieve this. Steenhuisen is right to make this appeal. The ANC remaining in power a debate we need to have!

[@mthokozisilanga4497]

Nope. You are promoting the John Party because you resonate with it. If the people wanted the DA we would have seen the DA growing instead like the ANC is declining. You cannot force the people to vote for party they feel it does not represent them, only 88 seats, then you blame the new parties for saying hey, we are different to the DA and the ANC. If the DA is the right party, let it attract the masses itself without the help of other opposition parties.

[@khaltsharivist365]

@ekim996 ANC will remain the biggest party even if it comes under 50%. John has declared the 3rd biggest party (EFF) as enemy #1 of the DA. If ANC vote goes less than 43%, the question is who will join ANC in coalition, DA or EFF.

Are you going to electrify and build plumbing and roads for people settling on private property? flood plains? fire breaks? Rail lines? What do you do when 87,000 enter your city in a year. Are you going to magically give them all services? And then how are you going to pay for it given that the vast majority of the people coming in don't pay rates and taxes? How do you treat all that sewage? Where does it go? None of these parties have any idea how to manage this situation, never mind fixing it. Just a note on affirmative action: So if a poor white kid wrestles their way through school and does well and gets to university they won't find a job, but if a rich non white kid gets everything and then enters the job market they get the job even though they have poorer marks?

I don't stand for BEE or affirmative action but my ancestors were allowed to study anything, weren't allowed to take up certain jobs and even if they were the most talented they couldn't proceed in the job market. I know of many coloured people that trained white people only for them to get ahead. White people are so touched now that they are disadvantaged now but non of them ever want to recognize the true hurt that people of colour experience. They want BEE to be done away with and the o is reason why white people has the best skills and can do a better job is because of centuries of holding everyone else down. Once again I'm not supporting BEE but all the people of colour just want real recognition and real will to bring about change from white people. The DA represents or should I say personifies not being sensitive to our history.

Thanks for articulating it well..... people want where the DA works...why can't they fight for those poor places and make them better

​@@TheMsyZawhen I comment here it keeps getting deleted. So I will have to save this comment elsewhere and repeat it. You have to consider how the DA treats citizens, not opposition parties. You heard the man from the ACDP saying that the DA spends most of its money in poor areas. This is true and you can double check that yourself. Here is the quote that I tried to share from businesstech: "According to the latest data, the Western Cape has the lowest unemployment rate (standard definition) in South Africa at 20.2%, meaning it has the most people working than unemployed in the country. This is then followed by the Northern Cape (26.3%), Kwa-Zulu Natal (29.4%) and Limpopo (30.8%). Additionally, the Western Cape is the only province that has consistently been well below the South African average official unemployment rate over the past ten years, with KZN toeing the line. The City of Cape Town noted that it had added 205,000 new jobs over the last year, more than all other metros combined." There are plenty of things Cape Town in particular are doing for the poor. They are currently rolling out the MyCiti bus service with a massive bus terminal in mitchell's plain. They've employed body cams, gun shot detection and drones for safety and security, You can get a R5000 reward if you report an illegal firearm. They simply cannot cope with the influx of people moving from rural areas and other provinces seeking better circumstances. That is why the schools are overcrowded and that is why the poor areas look so bad. People know there are jobs so they go to the western cape.

[@henryphiri6100]

Western Cape is in the mess but y pple are flocking to buy property there.which province is well run in South Africa.these so called political parties are dreaming, telling us lies

[@WalterWhite-bc8ck]

The Rich Residents Of Cape Town are the ones paying tax rates to keep the areas clean and safe with private security. Thus places like Langa, Nyanga, Cape flats, Delft, Gugulethu Mitchellsplain, Bonteheuwel where all none whites live who cannot afford even bread on the table.... Are living worse than any ANC run municipal😢 Of which the DA must service but they don't The DA has nothing to do with running the Western Cape

[@MrLechesa]

People are buying properties in Gauteng too. It's still an economically active location

[@PivotPoint007]

Da is fixing road thats not even broken.... what a waste of funds

[@veronicakarstel9126]

No it is not. You call it preventative maintenance.

[@thembanimgenu190]

Bass John is full of it😂 Why wouldn't they be challenged, they are a political party like all others, or is it supremacy speaking through him.

[@biko8229]

John is an absolute clown. He does not possess the intelligence to lead an ordinary street committee let alone the "main opposition" in SA. It's very clear that white privilege is the real reason he thinks he can lead the DA.

[@virgo_zar6272]

I am EFF❤ but i love this lady

[@munyeriamungai6647]

Ahhhhhh, Reparations is finally in the SA lexicon.....💪🏿Only a matter of time for Black SA citizens to get what is owed

[@markriordan9010]

What is owed ?....and by whom ? Quite a ridiculous develipment around the world.....reparations....you should consider how crazy that theory is....every person in this world probably feels they are owed something...history can't be ignored, and you can't expect those who had nothing at all to do with all "bad" history (who defines that ?) to make sacrifices for those who were apparently "victims".

[@munyeriamungai6647]

@markriordan9010 Apparently, victims? As you stated, history will not be ignored, so is it apparent victims or actual victims? The history shows that it was fact and not apparently situation. Reparations will be cash reparations as well as changes in legislation to enforce jail time for racism. By whom? The major companies from banks, insurance, mining, and agricultural businesses that still exist today, to mention a few. I find it highly suspicious of you to STAND TALL when it comes to Black SA citizens. Yet never mention the Afrikaaner population receiving cash reparations as well as legislative reparations, the Jews, the Japanese Americans....what is different between their group and Black SA citizens, descendants of atrocities that eclipse the aforementioned groups and it was only 30yrs ago? Please sir explain

[@novelakengwilingwili4080]

[@DumaM-ir7rk]

@ ManteMumty all this political party including EFF and ANC are funded by the same people

[@sikhumbuzolukashe4431]

It is unfortunate that, all these political party leaders are speaking 1st Grade english yet their allegiance is with the funders. Only people will be used and manipulated to vote for these parties only to protect White Interest. The fundamental quest must be, Would you really stand up against your White Funders? or You will protect their Interest? Sadly, they can talk as much as they want but, their politics will follow the money. I am not surprised that at the end of elections in May, some will be instructed to join coalition and support the same DA they are scolding now.

[@user-md4op6ko3y]

Please keep you Philosophy of Apparheid ideals to yourself you really don't know what you're talking about the DA do not only represent the white minority interests that's absolute hog wash were in 2024 now

Exactly why gun for a Province is well run ..

[@virgo_zar6272]

No one owns it. No white man owns it that's why

[@africaiswealthy.africanson5072]

Da wouldn't be losing support in the WC if they were gorvening well as they claim. The PA ANC and other smaller parties will ensure DA is under 50% . This is politics it's about Contestation Jonny the Matric certificate holder is scared that DA will perform worse under his leadership and he'll lose his job

[@khaltsharivist365]

If the Province is well run as the myth goes then they should welcome the challenge to put their detractors on the backfoot. They are loosing grip on power and might need FF+ to get a majority in Western Cape. Cape Independence which the DA and FF+ were supporting failed to take off…now they will push for more devolution.

[@siyabongakoyo238]

Well run for whites maybe not everyone, go and spend a month in Samora or Enkanini or even Wallacedene they comment again. Do you even know that there are such areas in Cape town.. or spend a weekend in Mfulenis covid area.
