DA endorses Western Cape Provincial Powers Bill

26 June 2023

The Federal Council of the Democratic Alliance today unanimously adopted a resolution proposed by DA Leader, John Steenhuisen to endorse the Western Cape Provincial Powers Bill tabled in the Western Cape Legislature on 26 May this year.

This Bill encapsulates the DA’s approach to federal autonomy for provinces and metros that have the capacity to manage devolved functions from central government.

The DA will be pursuing this objective in all provinces where the DA will be in government following the 2024 election.

Issued by Helen Zille, DA Federal Council Chairperson, 26 June 2023
