DA outlines plan to get KwaDukuza negotiations back on track
4 August 2022
On 2 August 2022, the DA in KwaZulu-Natal, held a virtual townhall meeting with DA Federal Council Chairperson, Helen Zille, to outline to residents of the KwaDukuza municipality the current status of coalition discussions and the way forward.
At the meeting, the DA outlined our experience and track record in coalitions dating back to 2006, where Ms. Zille put together a seven-party coalition to become the Mayor of Cape Town.
The DA knows all too well the complexities and hard work that goes into making a coalition successful, having worked with other parties to form 19 coalition governments across the country since the elections in 2021.
Ms. Zille also took members of the public through the importance of the DA places on having a signed and agreed upon coalition agreement before any motion of no confidence can take place. The DA would not allow KwaDukuza to fall to an ANC administration because of the ensuing instability that would be created in the municipality without an agreement.
