ANC welcomes DA Cape Town Metro Chairperson into the ANC

The African National Congress today welcomed into the organisation the former Chairperson of the DA in the Cape Town Metro, Councillor Grant Pascoe. Cllr Pascoe has served as a Councillor for the DA for over 13 years and a Member of the Mayoral Committee since 2006. He has served as Chairperson of the Mitchell's Plein Sub-Council in May 2006. During his tenure Cllr Pascoe is credited with uniting the community and increasing DA votes by almost 400% in 2009.

Cllr Pascoe joins an overwhelming number of South Africans, who despite finding themselves in other political parties, recognize the ANC as the only organization with the track record, capacity and determination to build a South Africa which is united, democratic, non-racial, non-sexist and prosperous. It is an accepted fact it is the policies and programmes of the ANC, guided by the aspirations of our people, that have contributed to building a South Africa that is better today than it was in 1994.

Comrade Pascoe joins as an ordinary member of the organization, and will assist our efforts to win back the Western Cape, and continue to show citizens of that province that the ANC is the only party which can improve the lives of all citizens, and not only those in affluent areas. His expertise will be utilized by the ANC in many areas to deliver a better life for all of our people.
