DA launches 2019 elections campaign
Corruption, crime, jobs, immigration and service delivery will top the DA’s agenda ahead of the upcoming national polls.
The party launched its 2019 elections campaign in Johannesburg on Saturday, with leader Mmusi Maimane introducing a core election team and the DA's premier candidates.
"One South Africa for all" was announced as the campaign slogan.
'Madiba's dream eroded'
Maimane, who delivered a keynote address at the event, focused on his upbringing and the hope he and many others had when South Africa had a democratic breakthrough in 1994. He once again lauded the country’s founding father, the late Nelson Mandela, who served as its first democratic president, saying under his leadership there was a vision for different South Africans to co-exist and thrive as one nation, but that Madiba’s dream had been eroded by his political party, the ANC, over the years.
