DA urges MPs to support motion for early election
5 September 2017
The DA calls on all Members of Parliament to support our motion calling for early elections as per Section 50(1) of the Constitution, which will be debated in the National Assembly today, 5 September.
This is an opportunity for MPs to do the right thing and put the people of South Africa first.
On 8 August, 177 MPs, including dozens from the ANC, sent out a powerful message by voting in favour of the Motion of No Confidence in President Jacob Zuma. We call on these brave individuals and those who have not yet spoken out to put an end to the ruinous Zuma presidency.
South Africa cannot afford another two years of ANC governance. We cannot tolerate another two years of the Gupta family’s toxic influence over President Zuma and the ANC government. We cannot endure another two years of unchecked looting and plundering of our state-owned entities.
