15 April 2020

The Democratic Alliance’s Federal Executive has resolved to make a financial contribution of R1.5 million to the Solidarity Fund to assist small businesses in distress as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.

The financial contribution is drawn from the salaries of DA public representatives.

In addition we will be distributing sanitisers worth R200 000 to essential workers who are at the forefront of keeping the economy functional and saving lives during this difficult time

Notwithstanding this overall contribution, DA public representatives are at liberty to make any additional financial contributions to the Solidarity Fund as individuals if they wish to do so.

The DA recognises that it is important for all role players in society to play our part to act in the best interests of the country during this time.
