Hundreds of ANC Western Cape members join DA - De Lille
8 June 2016
Cape Town – More than 300 disgruntled African National Congress members in the Western Cape have jumped ship and joined the Democratic Alliance.
Western Cape DA leader Patricia de Lille welcomed the Khayelitsha members into the fold on Tuesday night.
"These new members came to the DA after losing faith in the lack of ANC leadership and failed ANC structures within the Western Cape," she said on Wednesday.
The ANC in the province has been plagued by disputes over the list of candidates for the August 3 local government elections, forcing the postponement of the party’s manifesto launch last week.
