The IEC must ensure that voters can deliver South Africa’s new democratic era
4 April 2024
Note to Editors: The following speech was delivered today by the Leader of the Democratic Alliance, John Steenhuisen, during the IEC's National Code of Conduct and Ballot Paper Draw at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand, Johannesburg.
Ladies and gentlemen,
It is a privilege to be here today to reaffirm the Democratic Alliance’s commitment to our country’s constitutional democracy.
The DA has a proud track record of fighting to preserve, protect and uphold our constitutional dispensation in the face of threats it has faced over the years, including endemic corruption, state capture and service delivery failure.
