- Democratic Alliance leader John Steenhuisen shares his thoughts on a range of subjects in this interview with Alec Hogg of BizNews.com. He provides straight answers to the questions many South Africans want answered. Like: Will the DA enter a coalition with the ANC after the 2024 Election; Did Mpho Phalatse's challenge for DA Leadership trigger the end of her Joburg Mayorship; Can Eskom be rescued from seemingly inevitable collapse; After being twice let down, will the DA still strike a deal with Gayton McKenzie's Patriotic Alliance; and will his party to turn successful provincial governance into winning votes nationally. Good politicians must be peddlers of hope. From the evidence in this interview, Steenhuisen is a very good politician.
No matter what happens the EFF should be kept out of government. This is very important.
INDEED SO THEN WE GOING FROM BAD TO WORSE
I thought people living in the Western Cape were full of it, and exaggerating about the difference in government and service delivery. Then my work saw me relocating to Cape Town and I couldn't believe the difference. It genuinely feels like a different country here, spoken as a born and raised Gautenger - I wouldn't move back. To think of how South Africa could develop and empower our most impoverished if this same government was able to take the helm is refreshing. After all, it's the poorest of the poor that are suffering the most under ANC rule.
True, but there are some real issues around townships There that seems to be purposely overlooked.
@@KyleKruger-hp1iw Do you know that according to Census 2022, over 1.2 million people have moved from the Eastern Cape to the Western Cape in search of better basic services, better infrastructure and roads, better public schools, significantly better public hospitals, better work and job opportunities, significantly lower unemployment rate etc??
@@KyleKruger-hp1iw Do you know that the dynamic young Mayor of Cape Town, Geordin Hill Lewis (36), is passionate about reducing inequality in his City and creating a more inclusive economy?
He is spending a whopping and unprecedented 75% of the City of Cape Town's budget/ finances this year on uplifting and building new infrastructure and social housing in previously disadvantaged areas of the City such as Kayelitsha, Philipi, Langa etc
This kind of a municipal spend is a first in SA!
See " Budget comparison confirms Cape Town delivers the most for the poor while offering ratepayers value for money ", Daily Maverick/ "Cape Town breaks all time record for municipal infrastructure spending ", Cape Business News / "DA-run municipalities really are best at delivering to poor ", Politicsweb.
The last article compares service delivery to the poor across all of the 9 Provinces, and the DA - run Western Cape comes out tops on every single metric by a large margin!!
The graphs and data in the article are published by STATS SA.
I'm glad someone hv a positive word!, I thnk you fr talked the truth! All what I think mybe I see it out a wrong eye or the DA doing the best to keep Western Cape in good shape why moan the anc nd many others talked about the DA served the wealthy people!
But myself stay in a white area the white clean thy own streets they pledge if thers a problem in the street the municipality remove thy dirt bins but I dnt think that's fair that thy said the DA work fr the whites that's not true
You knw what the pa is doing thy lie to people thy tell in general lies thy knw thy used gospel to dance and people dnt served the Lord thy dance ask Bwest what's going under gaytons slavery thy take colored people and boost them emotionally that's what he said he want DA out the Western Cape
Strength to you John.
100% it's about services delivery!!!! Keeping the lights 9n and keeping our cities clean. Job creation..the list goes on 💙💙💙💙💙#GoBlue
And great help future abortions.... young and old
Services ARE delivered! But it's all wreck and demand and never any commitment to, contribution from or responsibility of those who (as the evidence screams) are fully responsible for their own shack, house confines, but are incapable of hygiene and good housekeeping? Threatened at entry points, how is the Service Dept meant to keep up with the burgeoning squatter camps and its cesspools of refuse and filth, where the community contributes nothing but to rage, rampage, protest and pollute? My goodness, who fouls and filthies up the surroundings in the first place?
@@selah181 our suburbs are not swept or cleaned rubbish lies on cnr streets bins are not emptied grass not cut weeds overgrown st lights not working parks a mess ..the list goes on. Our municipalities are useless but we pay our rates an taxes yet fok all gets done
@@mossfairy3060 Sympathies. Do you live north of the Orange River? Is your municipality run by corrupt ANC officials in the make - and take? Awful.
@@lucaswilhelmmeyer6943 100% !! That is our biggest problem 💪🏻
John Steenhuisen came across really well. Knows his stuff. Well done!!
The DA's problem is that they only campaing in the media, most people in SA don't read media. They need to go out into the community to get their message out.
They need to go out there and give out food parcel's 😜
@Joshua The DA does campaign on the ground but needs to do more.
See Mac G's recent Podcast with John Steenhuisen on UA-cam. It is a real eye- opener with over half a million views!!
Agreed 👍
You hit the nail 100% on the head...this idiot must relize the votes he need live in squatter camps....
Steenhuisen is a legend ! Big admiration to you sir !As a black person in this country I support you a 100% !!You are thinking of South Africa and not himself !
I am so happy Steenhuisen cleared the air with regards to Mpho
What a channel, so refreshing to get info without filters. Thank you biz news. Great to have a channel like this in SA
If load shedding, high crime, high unemployment, deteriorating education and health system doesn't get people to go and vote then it's hopeless. We will be like Sri Lanka revolting when it's far too late.
You are 100% correct people are waiting until it is to late. Problems do not fix themselves.
Humans are not wired to deal with threats that is not immediate. So yes, the sht will hit the fan and then will be tool late,
John is a very smart guy and would make a very good president.
He'll make a good president, this guy! We believe in you, John!
Brilliant. That's the kind of president we actually need. Clear and to the point. And the proof is in the pudding. Cape Town is a roaring success under da. Love or hate them, and as John says, night and day
First abortion the unthinkable euthanasia of the old feeble and unwanted. Go straight ahead, God awaiting you at the end of the line to judge the murderer liar and those who love lies ...the Christ rejecting politicians and voters
Ha hà !!
Cape town ...is much older than the rest of the cape.. the DA will run it to the ground wait and see
Zuma invested heavily in Capetown. DA is enjoying someone sweat
Yaaaaaawwwwwwwnnnnnnnnn!
Brilliant and to the point John. Seems the truth is a bitter pill to swallow for some or they are not capable of seeing the bigger pic. These are the very people who complain the most must do nothing to enable change.
VOTE DA 2024.💙💙💙💙💙
Thanks John for your input into improving our society.
His party is his god
Let his swallow pride, join EFF as deputy leader to malema
Superlative account, John! Slick, fluent and adroit combination of style and substance.
Yes spot on Best For South Africa 💚💚💚
I feel that the ANC will probably get more votes as the majority of the people will carry on voting ANC Apartheid is still very fresh in the minds of people. John is a strategist well done John 💙💙💙💙
As black South African , personally I don't see the ANC loosing Limpopo ( my province), mpumalanga, North West, eastern cape.these provinces are over 90 percent black and have no ethnic based party and are largely rural.rural ppl tend to not be as dependent on government as ppl in more urban provinces .
In my opinion kzn is also over 90 percent black put the IFP is very prominent and with the help of DA could remove the ANC .
Free state and northern cape are also likely to fall to opposite hands.even Wen their majority black.the rise of independents has really tipped the scale ..
Overall the ANC will lose in 2024.if it gets 45 percent it will get in bed with maybe patriotic allience,all jamah and other smaller party's.
If it gets below 40 it is getting in bed with the eff ..
The DA should learn from it's mistakes and understand it's never going to appeal to most south Africans .and work equally with smaller party's..
Apartheid is long gone and so is Jan van Riebeeck, but yes they will use it as an excuse, however, then they shouldn't protest.
Hi YVETTE if you see Franschhoek then you will new APARTHEID are still in the whites D A party don't turn a blind eye on that show my point if the A N C will give the KHOI SAN the joint venture it will give the WHITE D A AND BLACK A N C a score that's my personal point
I think most people don't realize that the ANC is actually crashing dramatically. They will be lucky to get 30% of the vote. The latest poll put them at 37% and that's without visible election posters.
Well done Alec, another solid show
All the best John, may the 2024 election exceed our wildest expectations. Take care of yourself and get physically fit for the fight ahead. DA is the future. 💙
Keep dreaming!!!
@@truth-Hurts375 That's the attitude we are looking for...
I agree with you, can't wait until the 20 24 elections, best wishes for the 2024 elections for John Steenhuisen, hope he looks after himself
Thanks great talk
John is way much more on the right track than squirrel.
Th opposition parties need to cast aside their lesser issues and "unite" or co-operate in getting the incumbents OUT.
When that goal is achieved then a meaningful and hopefully stable alliance can be structured without parties having to sacrifice their viewpoints. Work together to achieve the main goal FIRST.
Agreed but then the ANC/EFF should from the word go, not be part of any posssible future scenario. If they are included then the DA will loose a lot of support, including mine.
Stop talking rubbish and look at the figures...in 2019 the ANC got 10.3mill votes...the DA 3.8mill...what coalition is going to push them past the 11mill mark...stop dreaming mate....
It has to happen. Persevere never give up
The DA can't "wait to see where the voting chips fall"! They have to go all out to reach the non-voting public and recruit their votes to ensure that they have a much larger voting block going into elections in 2024, so that they can break the current imbalance of power and not be forced into unstable coalitions.
That's not what he's saying.
@@charleskp947 I’ve quoted him verbatim, hence the question marks!
YES. All the stops need to be pulled out to motivate young people and unemployed people to VOTE. We do not know who they will vote for but they DO NEED TO VOTE, otherwise nothing is going to change in my opinion.
😅😅😅😅😅
@@franks4103 I know he said those words, but you're asserting that he's advocating inaction. John is merely stating that after the votes are counted there will be various outcomes. What he is saying is a statistical reality. For some reason you seem to have an issue with this.
If the DA wants to co govern with the ANC or EFF they will loose many votes to smaller parties. Including mine.
The DA difference is best seen where the DA governs with an outright majority eg uMngeni Municipality in KZN has improved dramatically since the DA took over!!
This is obviously the first prize.
The fact is that we don't know what the outcome of the 2024 election will be. The DA is prepared to do the best, in the circumstances that may arise after 2024, for SA as a country, rather than just what is best for the DA as a party!!
This self -sacrifice could prevent SA from sliding even further backwards than it is now!!
Steenhuisen is up Ramaphosas ass for a very good reason....you can just as well stop voting DA if you are not comfortable with that.
Brilliant 👏
I respect John he respects his country tbey can say what they say. Be strong john God will protect you
DA's CV is 100% authentic. John's a great leader.
Leader of the goats black white and brown.
He can make a good deputy for CIC malema
Another great content show Alec 🙏👍
Great conversation
No coalition with Corruption please DA should join forces with FF, UIN and Mashaba and Musi and IFP.
Brilliant…. This is the kind of president we NEED
Pity very few trust them. All sounds good, but Eish. .. we want to select our own leaders, not political parties
Politics remains a very questionable situation no matter how convincing the arguments may sound. There is a much bigger force outside of SA that is orgastrating the tone. Do not understimate the Zulu's as history can quite easily repeat itself. The world at large is politically a very unstable environment run by crooks.
The DA is on the right way please give them a chance please
If there's one thing I don't like about DA or ANC no one wants to take accountability for failure, ANC doesn't want to take accountability for failure of the country, DA doesn't want to take accountability of failure of coalition in JHB
We already know that Carl forming new party with Zumas So Far DA best we don't anymore breakaway in DA please Good Luck Dear John
The DA should not be thinking coalition and especially an ANC coalition. They should be thinking DA will be next party to run the country.
The debate is done. The only party that offers ANY hope 🌈 of a functioning society (with a track record) is the DA. As for Gayton. IMO Any, agreement or handshake you make with this individual is worth Jack shit. You are walking on eggs.
Free the Cape now
Independent Cape is the only answer. Adopt the dollar become first world. Away from eskom away from failed rand away from cancerous and racist and unfair anc government
?
DA is not brainwashed
Mr Steenjikamp sees light

Dream on James, dream on!!!
@@Beatyoutoit34 ?
DA has a real chance of doing extremely well in 2023 elections however they need much more social media precence.
And have more meetings all communities over the country.....
This is the huge dilemma to get change in SA. How to break thru that 50% mark. Until that happens nothing will change and politics in SA is a salaried job so we have such fragmented little groups of ineffective parties with no hope of ever making any change in SA but they provide jobs for the leaders and office bearers. Useless politically. So parties like the DA, and others, have a thankless impossible task and at best are doing a good job keeping a check on the ANC as is expected of a good opposition. Any government is only as good as its opposition is how it works.
THE SOLUTION
The ANC doesn't fulfill its constitutional obligations.
The ANC is far worse than just a "poor" government, it CHOOSES to break down and to destroy. That is why this action is warranted and needed.
Most importantly the ANC incites hatred/violence against us when they say that we stole their land - I checked, we didn't.
It is not reasonable to expect law abiding tax payers to continue with "the winner takes all principle" of a democracy to their own and the country's demise.
Who says we HAVE to be part of this political dispensation? Nobody questions this. It is time to stop, think and QUESTION this.
Nothing and nobody have the right to force us to be part of this self destructive political dispensation.
Approach the courts - convince them that it would be in the best interest of the country as a whole if we control our own taxes (first goal). Justify our rejection of the current political dispensation (main goal).
Alternatively we can just use the constitutional court as a platform where we inform the ANC and public of our decision to control our money and effectively start our own government. Give reasons and evidence for our decision.
DIE OPLOSSING?
Die enigste praktiese oplossing is om ons eie belasting (persoonlike, besigheids en brandstofheffings), munisipale fooie en betalings vir elektrisiteit self te beheer. (Our money under our control).
Deur dit te doen kan ons die land feitlik oornag omdraai.
Maar is dit haalbaar, hoe gaan ons dit reg kry?
Ons het nie n keuse nie, ons moet dit doen.
My voorstel is om die stelsel te verander deur n hofsaak in die konstitusionele hof. Dit is dalk net n beginpunt.
Ons is GEREGTIG om die land om te draai.
As dit is wat nodig is om die land om te draai (en dit is) dan moet die hof ons toelaat om ons belasting ens. te beheer. Dis tog ook vir die beswil v.d. land as n geheel. Hoekom nie?
Die ANC het NIE DIE REG om ons te weerhou om die land om te draai nie.
Dis die kruks van die beoogde saak in die konstitusionele hof.
Indien die hof nie onomwonde in ons guns beslis nie wat heel moontlik is kan dit nog steeds susksesvol wees want dan het miljoene Blankes, Bruin en Indiers gehoor dat hulle GEREGTIG is om te doen wat die beste is vir hulle en SA as n geheel. Op die oomblik dink nie een van hulle so daaraan nie.
Niks of niemand het die reg om ons te dwing om in n selfvernietigende politieke bedeling te bly nie ook nie die konstitusionele hof nie.
So n hofsaak sal ook die besef tuisbring.
Die ANC lieg as hulle sê ons het die grond gesteel - regsaksie teen die ANC
As ons nie die grond gesteel het nie kan daar mos nie grondonteiening sonder vergoeding wees nie.
Dis dan die rede waarom die ANC en EFF vra vir onteiening sonder vergoeding.
Ons het grond by die Zoeloekoning gekoop. Daar was ander gevalle ook gewees, tewens Bennie van Zyl v.d. TLU se vir my dat daar 25 traktate was tussen die Voortrekkers en Swart stamme vir die koop van grond.
Die Voortrekkers is bes moontlik die enigste groep mense in die geskiedenis wat nie grond met geweld af geneem het nie maar gekoop het! Die V.O.C. het ook maar hulle was nie n nasie nie.
Die TLU het al in 2019 vir Ramaphosa gese dat hy en die ANC lieg as hulle sê ons het die grond gesteel.
Die TLU het ook al R100 000 aan gebied vir enige iemand wat kan bewys dat ons die grond gesteel het maar niemand het nie.
Ek het n ou onderhoud op UA-cam van John Vorster gesien (Firing line with William F. Buckley) net voor die '74 verkiesing waar hy sê dat die regering reeds in 1936 besluit het om 7.25 miljoen morge grond te koop en as ADDISIONELE grond te gee aan die tuislande.
Tydens die onderhoud het hy gese dat daar reeds 7 miljoen morge gekoop was van Wit mense en dat dit al reeds aan die tuislande oorhandig was.
As ons nie die grond gesteel het nie en ons betwis nie eens die ANC en EFF se leuen nie is ons sekerlik die grootste idiote in die geskiedenis!
Kom ons vat die ANC hof toe.
ANC waar is jou gedetaileerde lys van grond wat gesteel was?
Ons kan grondonteiening sonder vergoeding nek om draai eens en vir altyd met so n hofsaak.
Omdat ons nie vir die ANC en EFF se hulle lieg oor die grond nie dink almal al klaar dat ons die grond gesteel het.
Deur ons stilswye kondoneer ons die leuenaars se leuen.
Ons kan dit nie in hierdie geweldadige land bekostig nie.
Hoeveel plaas aanvalle en haat is nie al deur hierdie leuen veroorsaak nie en hoeveel nog?
Bennie van Zyl se vir my so n hofsaak sal omtrent R5m kos saam met litigasie want die ANC sal definitief apelleer. Die TLU het nie die fondse hiervoor nie.
Om as n regering dit jou doelwit te maak om mense se grond by hulle te steel gebaseer op jou eie gefabriseerde leuen.
Om mense se grond by hulle af te vat is gelykstaande aan n oorlogsverklaring.
Die ANC breek die land ekonomies af as ook die samelewing, tewens die ANC hits rassehaat aan teen die Blankes as die sê ons het die grond gesteel.
Hoe kan daar verwag word van ons om verder ons belasting te gee aan die ANC en belangriker om deur die ANC regeer te word?
Wat sal n groep redelike persone doen onder hierdie omstandighede?
Of eerder waarop is n minderheidsgroep in ons omstandighede GEREGTIG?
Dit is eintlik die saak wat ek wil begin. Blankes sal baie meer as R5m gee vir hulle vryheid.
Ek dink nie mense besef dit nie maar dit (die ANC se leuen oor die grond) kan DIE REDE wees wat n hof (insluitend die Wereldhof en VN) se uitspraak in ons guns swaai as ons besluit om ons self te distansieer van die huidige politieke bedeling.
Bruin en Indier wil ook onder die ANC uit kom, ons staan nie alleen nie.
Dis nie net n Swart en Wit kwessie nie.
Dit gaan oor waardes, breek jy af of bou jy.
Blankes bou, ons kan nie langer onder die afbrekende ANC regering aan gaan nie.
Die ANC is DIE REDE vir die verval v.d. land.
Daar is honderde indien nie duisende bewyse hiervoor wat in die konstitusionel hof voor gele kan word.
Hoe kan ons hierdie saak verloor?
Om Swartes titel regte te gee vir die grond waarop hulle bly in die ou tuislande sal die grootste welvaart skepping ooit in die land tot gevolg he.
Hoe is dit moontlik dat die ANC en EFF nooit daaraan gedink het nie!?
Die huidige stelsel waar grondeienaarskap onmoontlik is, is juis DIE REDE (histories en huidiglik) vir Swart armoede, Swart verstedeliking en plakkerskampe.
Die ANC se hy is Swartes se "Liberator" maar hy lieg.
Die ANC is Swartes se "Opressor".
The DA could get a majority vote by stating clearly that they will not go into coalitions with the ANC and the EFF. The voters knows that the DA is possibly the only party that will be able to unseat the ANC but they will not vote for the DA if the ANC/EFF is going to be part of the future in a coalition in any way.
Top bloke.
JOHN YOU WILL BE A GREAT PRESIDENT WITH YOUR
COOL MANNERS.
We need these people in government...
May YOU as the media must stop referring to the "whiteness"...get of your soapbox...
The DA needs to punt its values...set the 5-10 values...and stick to it...We need values and people that stand and account to those values...and if the DA hold those values true...they will govern the country...irrespective of their "colour"....and why does it matter...the DA has a great speaker...why does her colour matter...it has a great leader...why would his colour matter?!?
We need to ask the proper questions:
1. Can you protect my rights?
2. Can you protect my ownership of my property?
3. Are you a thief? or corrupt?
4. Will my children have equal opportunity irrespective of his/her colour?
5. Will I have freedom of speech to critique you as ruling government?
6. Will you protect our justice system?
7. Will you create a safe and just environment for ALL in South Africa?
Ask those questions....as those are important for ALL South Africans....
The DA, does race baiting as well, they use swart gevaar, anytime they have the chance, to score political points amongst minorities, then they are surprised, that they remain stagnant or decrease in support. If you genuinely think that the DA will get the black majority vote, you are a fool. The reality is that race is a sensitive topic, especially politically. I suggest just voting Action SA, its very similar policies to the DA, without the reputation of being white and racist.
Perfect, but my gut feeling is : 30 years of missed opportunities & political doublespeak - like performing CPR on a corpse.
@@godfreyberry1599 DA, could of gotten 35-40% in 2019, if Helen Zille shut her mouth, and they did not bring about "experiments', by using black faces, that do not represent the majority, (b/man from a upper middle class background, with a white wife, and no "poverty' origin story). The constituents are not dumb, they see through it.
Before all of this during Helens leadership the DA, was rapidly growing in support. If she just shut her mouth, and continued leading. She was liked across racial lines. But no, she decided to do swaart gevaar, and engage in maybe true, but non-beneficial debates on Twitter, such as justifying colonialism, or talking about "Eastern Cape Invaders', like a idiot.
Well said, the race card won't get us anywhere. We are South Africans. It is high time we work to get rid of anc corruption and ineptitude. PUT SA FIRST, NOT THE POCKETS OF ANC MAFIA
It will always be Port Elizabeth
..Agree...And Grahamstown will always be Grahamstown
We tired of Dictatorship year in year out with false promises .The fat cats have enriched themselves and the citizens are really suffering .Corruption is the biggest problem . We never suffer like this loadshedding .Water problems are ongoing things we suffer with, Our roads are in a total disaster full of poles .Our cities and towns are in a state ..It was once a beautiful country but no more .We desperately need a change .The only city thats neat and tidy is Western Cape . Vote 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
The DA must please just not tell the citizenry that their vote for a smaller party is wasted vote or otherwise it is a vote for an ANC coalition by proxy. It's annoying, disingenuous, off-putting, has not worked as a tactic and unlikely to ever work.
It is true though. Smaller parties are sometimes excellent but their votes are not enough to oust the ANC
@@lynnehorn2220 I get that it may not be helpful to the DA, and it may be true in a number of instances. The messaging itself I find comes across as chastising, as well as evidently ineffective. They would do better in focusing on the other messaging of effective service delivery, sound policy, etc..
@@dorrienvenables3057 If we continue to vote for small opposition parties, then the ANC will easily remain the largest political party in SA for a long time to come and will continue to plunder and break SA!!
To CANCEL the ANC out and to CLOSE the gap on its electoral dominance, we need to collectively support the second largest political party in SA, which is the DA!!
It is really that simple, I don't understand why people can't see this!!!
Once the DA is in power, the political environment will stabilise and smaller parties will have an environment they could potentially thrive in...
Smaller parties will always be bullied as long as the anc is in power...
Free all environments by putting the DA in. Economic, political, market, and service delivery environments.
The DA is our only hope.The goal is already won.
I will not vote for any party that is willing to enter into a coalition with the ANC and the EFF. If I wanted them there I would have voted for them. The DA needs to clarify its position in this regard.
Same, can’t vote for a party willing to get into bed with the ANC
He has just clarified
@@lynnehorn2220 No he has not. He said it depends on how the dice falls. I need a definitive yes or no or the DA will not get my and many others votes
@@tomdunn1254 Then who will you be voting for?A non DA vote is in essence an ANC vote.
@@spandel100 No it is not. There are other viable options that I can vote for. If the DA wants my vote they need to get their act together in this regard. The ANC and EFF are not reliable coalition partners. They have proven that over and over. I will not legitimize their corruption and incompetence by making them part of the future. They destroyed this country. I need to vote in line with my conscious and when the ANC and EFF are a possible part of the scenario I am out of there.
Great show Alec .John is a great leader and hope he can lead SA soon. My 2cents worth .John must get out more often in rural areas ,I know he has done so already ,but continue and let the voters see the real man .The other aspect is he must touch on the land reform issue that is a sensitive subject. The public want to know where the DA stands on this .
Having recently watched the Arte tv Documentary about Mayor Chris Pappas ( 32, fluent in isiZulu) of uMngeni Municipality on UA-cam as well as Mac G's Podcast with John Steenhuisen ( also on UA-cam -read the comments), the DA is by far the best, the most compassionate and the most capable and experienced choice to take SA forward in 2024!!
Coherent, intelligent and thoughtful. Everything the ANC is not. Steenhuisen for president
I think the message to the people should be to crush the head of the snake. Get everyone to vote. And vote anything but ANC.
If we continue to vote for hundreds of small opposition parties, then the ANC will easily remain the largest political party in SA for a long time to come and will continue to loot and destroy our beautiful country!
The only way to close the gap on the ANC's electoral dominance is for opposition voters to strategically vote for the Official Opposition, which is the second largest political party in SA!
This will bring positive change and prosperity to our country in record time!!
NO COALITION WITH THE DEVIL
The DA must do what’s best for South Africa, coalitions are the reality in the future, anything is better than ANC/EFF
I agree but that would not include a coalition with the ANC/EFF.
"Anything is better than the ANC/EFF"
Actually, no it isn't. Certain outcomes would be just as bad, or even worse than the ANC and the EFF. Yes, the other parties are much smaller, but the chaos and the destruction they can cause should not be underestimated. They are just as hungry for power as the ANC are (perhaps even more so), and they have no qualms about backstabbing their way to the top if that is what it takes. They've proven it twice now in Joburg. And it would not have made any difference whatsoever if the DA cut a deal with them, because somewhere along the line they would still turn on the DA anyway. The DA can see through their BS completely, and they simply refuse to cooperate with parties who are so dishonest and power-hungry. Many people don't see it now, but the DA 100% made the right decision in Joburg.
Thanks
I'm very dissapointed that with Ambulances and patients lives in danger in the last few days, not one Politician did anything Not one A sick child's life was in danger when the ambulance the child was in was attacked.Where are our Military to protect Citizens and Eskom?
This man is definitely the future of this country. The DA is hope of this country. We need to back the people who are going to move us forward
South Africa is at a crossroads once again, and now it’s more significant than in ‘94 because unemployment and poor service delivery are front and center, but most all corruption is corroding the essence and health of this country.
John Steenhuisen makes so much sense, all my faith is in him, we need his help desperately, and he couldn’t have come at a better time. Please South Africans, let’s make the most of next year’s election, this country still has a chance of being a developed, dignified republic ✊🏾

DA/ANC coalition may be the only solution to save South Africa.
not another FORK!! we could have an entire cutlery set!!!
The election is like writing an exam. Make sure you get full marks in the sections you know.
DA is the only part that has proved diversity, excellent governance and zelo tolerance to corruption. We need DA everywhere in South Africa just as ANC is popular.
A year later, new future, new hope. 👏
Amen 🙏 for a coalition for the south africans and south africa it will bring dry bones back too life and dead wood burn again and dry wells dried burst again spring forth water 💧 in the natural back into life it will turn bad stagnation forward for the good for south africa in coming months
Da should invite or bring rural South Africans to Cape Town for a week or 2 to see how their areas can look and run if they vote with their heads.
You still talk like someone that think they are people that can grasp the concept. These are savages and will destroy everything. Whaky Whaky
What about cape flat,nomzamo,khayelisha and gugulethu ? DA doesn't really talk about those area
Patrick. Da are doing a lot for them that you don't hear of. There's no way that our folk living in the areas that you mentioned would think of moving to free state..gauteng etc. Renew your mind about the entire S A situation and find the big picture in full colour. If you choose to put rocks on the road to change..then either make a difference for Good or go live in China or Russia. Love you.

When i lived in South Africa i did not vote because it was doom and gloom waste of time , make ppl realise its up to them to help steer a better way forward
Greatful for the DA, while millions moaned... they actually walked the walk and continued to fight the fight for South Africans.
This is why the DA is dying. It has nothing fresh to say!! Still the same old empty promises and political speak. Say what you will of Gayton Mckenzie, but he is fresh and speaks unapologetically to ones soul!! I havent voted for 16 years but in 2024 my vote goes to the PA!!🎉
Start going to schools to tell the young voters to get out there in 2024 to vote.
Why can there not be a rainbow leadership in the d.a.,why does it only have a "white leader" then we may get the younger voters to come out if they see other people of colour representing them as well.
John looks very nervous careful john gayton is in the house
what a joke - what a mess- VAT JOU GOED EN TREK!!!!
Why ths man talked gayton if gayton is a lier he talked about the DA every where he put his foot gayton is a really a gladiator
So that letter that is written by John Steenhuisen, is it been translated into the other South African languages
John Steenhuizen needs to clarify what "the way ahead" is!! Is it the way of the WEF - global governance by the WEF, or is it what the people of South Africa want?
Who cares actually. As long as it's not the way of the anc that should be fine. If da takes the national vote which is honestly the only way forward for sa. If they just do the opposite of what the anc has done, this country will thrive. And the proof in the pudding is the coct and the greater western cape. They are the only party that has proven they can run and better municipalities and regions in sa successfully. Look at where Chris pappas took over. Look at coct under mayor geordon hill Lewis and then show me any other area in sa under any other party that is run as well. You won't find it. All da has to do is keep on doing what they are doing and slowly even the haters will start waking up to reality. The truth is anc has to go and the 2 others to watch out for that are slowly adding support to the anc is action sa and pa. Da had coalitions with both and both of them contributed to coalition breakdowns and anc taking back power in key areas. It's high time safn voters catch a wake up before its too late
WTF does WEF have to do with it? Jy praat deur jou gat, man.
@@stevedavidson666 simply because they seem to utter many things that are consistent with the political narrative of the west, which is being controlled by politicians who are very much a part of the WEF.
@@RoystonWyatt13 we should all care as the WEF plans for humanity are not good. I agree that the DA is the only party so far that has shown that it can more than likely run a country, but I fear they could easily become part of the WEF's global agenda.
@@Skoek1 Valid point, but then we the people must hold them accountable as we try and do with the anc currently but to no avail. My immediate concern sits with the now, what is the best option for right now for SA and that is hands down DA needs to take national. No other party not even ActionSA or PA come even close. Once the country is on an upward trajectory economically and energy and employment and crime wise, then we can worry about Wef plans. For now though that is the immediate solution that needs to happen and the voters of this country in general need to wake up and see things for what they really are
Why waste one's vote on the DA when one can vote directly for the ANC?
Ppl like you don't see the alternative s..
Would you rather have a ANC and eff coalition.
Or da and anc coalition..
@@bafanamahlatse1923 the biggest problem is being expedient instead of morally walking on the high ground. Dancing with the devil is never right.
@@martinengelbrecht5384 then never complain about an eff and anc if it happens
Have you noticed very few black South Africans bother with the DA and their policies .Transform and become a more representative party and you will get more votes from the educated black populace.For now my vote is on Good or Maimane new party possible even Action SA.
In durban there are 10000s of black DA supporters
Councillors must Do More especially Kzn choose wisely choose people's person not for he money or fame
This is like war of political parties. And individuals within politics as well as business. It's NEVER in the interests of the people who they USE to vote them around. It's so fucked up. I need the people to govern themselves Yoh.
NEVER CUT THE ROOTS, TRIM THE TREE THEN IT CAN BARE MORE FRUIT.
I've reached the following conclusion in aaaall the shananigans. Jesus' coming is imminent . Let us alllll get on our knees, pray hard (to the almighty creator of heaven and earth) and stay on our knees!!! That's what I'm gonna do!
Mooi Steenhuisen! Nou verstaan tot die blinded!
Yes we have to get South Africa Working together with all PartiesFor the Benefit of all South Africans but please take mandate from your voters or u can lose more than gain Good Luck
Who brought the country to this present situation? 30 yrs of ANC? Seems to me that serious change is due?
The ANC and DA both have experienced in governing a country or a province. Now we don't speak about Good or Bad just governing. We are not ready for Instability and great uncertainty as most of these other African countries are facing. We are already crippling or battling with unemployment, high crime rates, corruption and loadshedding and basic services delivery issues. We don't have time for SMALL POLITICS and silly comments of youngsters who are just there to fill their own pockets. E.g. We are not supporting the Springboks it's a racist logo and colour, we support rugby but not the Springboks. Let's put the people first in the name of the almighty and join hands. I really think the time of One Party ruling this beautiful country is Over. It's time for coalition governments and the time is now let change this country for the best. The ANC is looking for a partner who have moral ethics and integrity, respect the rule of law and know how to govern and putting the people first. That big brother is the DA and its moonshot partners. The DA is running the Western Cape SUCCESSFULLY and it looks like you enter another country if you enter the Western Cape or CA. I believe the ANC and DA can take this country from strength to strength and from power to power. If we don't do that there will be alot of policy shift and unnecessary uncertainty and madness in this country. The thiefs is also there to loot as they have loot the VBS bank and fill their own pockets. Pensioners will sit WITHOUT a pension. BE Careful for these Boys. Rather the devil's you know than the devil you don't know. Amandla for Cyril Ramaphosa and John Steenhuisen. Cyril for president and John for one of his Deputies with Herman Mashaba as the minister in the presidency.
Be clear or your position or you will consider to work with anc or not , anc is a NO NO even they work with eff doesn't matter .
You can NOT form a coalition with the insane and the corrupt.
Democratise energy creation in SA. Give the right back to the cities and provinces to generate energy. Let them build power stations, solar farms and wind farms, and sell into the national grid. Get rid of the idiotic centralisation the ANC inherited from the Nats back in 1994.
This Cadre deployment has destroyed the image of black excellence.
My President
JOHN STEENHUIZEN MY PRESIDENT
Someone please make this man President 😁
True mou bud EEf should be stayed out of government they coping the same as the anc ?
What happened to IFP Coalition??
The IFP only gets 4 percent of the vote..it's funny that it market's itself as the Zulu party .but Zulu mostly vote ANC
This will be the end of the DA
I think most ppl really don't understand the alternative s..
Would you rather have eff an ANC or da and anc ..
Coalition Governments are very tricky. Avise should be sought from those who successfully have them asap, incl Israel
Leta hope that the IFP take a lot of votes from ANC. This is a real possibility.
