Every vote for the DA is a vote for delivery

Fellow South Africans,
In a month from now we will know the outcome of the 2011 local government elections. The results will tell us whether South Africa is moving in the right direction or the wrong direction. If South Africans go out in their numbers and vote for the same party they have been toyi-toying against, then you know we are moving in the wrong direction.
But if the results show that more and more people are making a different choice, then you know we are moving in the right direction. I believe the results of this election are going to surprise many people. I hope that they will shock the ruling party out of its complacency.
This would be a very good thing. Governments deliver when they are put under pressure to deliver. Why do you think our Football World Cup was such a success? Everything worked because FIFA put us under enormous pressure. We knew that if we did not meet our deadlines, the World Cup would be taken away from us.
