- 🇿🇦 WATCH | DA Leader John Steenhuisen addresses the nation on the outcomes of negotiations, and the party's position on the Government of National Unity during the first sitting of the National Assembly. Our engagements with other parties have been rooted in our commitment to protect the Constitution and rule of law.
The agreement will lead South Africa on a path of fundamental reform that reflects many of the key pledges contained in the manifesto of the DA and other parties including: rapid economic growth and job creation; tackling poverty and the high cost of living; building a merit-based, non-partisan and professional public service that puts the people first; strengthening law enforcement agencies to address crime, corruption and gender-based violence; and investing in people through better education, skills development and quality healthcare.
Please share this important message far and wide.

As an ANC voter i have to be honest and say that i like John Steenhuisen and would be interested to see him in the Deputy President position.
Thank you for your honesty.
the man wants betterment for all. do not be distracted my friend
@@DMitch599 You're welcome. John Steen actually makes it easy to understand him.
@@groundhogguns5828 His rhetoric makes sense and I would like to see him get a chance
Amazing. Thank you. We need efficiency and pride restored in our people. For all!
I am in Howick. Since the DA took over our municipality in 2021, Chris Pappas, as mayor and his team has made the most incredible difference to all sectors of the community. Things get done so much so that we have become one of the few municipalities with a clean audit!!!
Hopefully we get this at a national level now,including KZN where we have constitution and rule of law desstroying types.
Pappas is a superhero
He builds so much trust between blacks and whites merely because communicating and understanding ALL his people. His ability to speak Zulu is ALL the difference. To be honest it’s shameful other more senior DA members have not taught themselves Zulu/Xhosa etc if we expect people to speak English and Afrikaans we should all learn at least one of our African languages.
Time to move to Howick 😂
@@spandel100yeh I won’t go near KZN again unless many things change there. It’s sad but it’s been fucked up so badly 😢. I’m very grateful to be in the WC.
May the DA have total success in saving South Africa! You have given us hope.
Yes I agree 👍 💯
Now our country is on its way to better all facets of what is wrong in the land.
I Praise God Almighty
Dream on !!!
That's why we gonna have reservations about the ANC and the DA working together cos your intention is just to take over, can't the work as partners for all citizens???
As a Limpopian I'm a bit offended. You keep emphasizing GP and KZN.. you already have WC in your pocket but be careful not to belittle other provinces as if they are irrelevant
Thank you ANC and DA .Please work in harmony,and make SOUTH AFRICA GREAT COUNTRY , WHERE EVERY BODY CAN GET JOBS , and live in peace ,free of corruption . God bless .
investment will flow now
Lets hope for the best
Thank you ANC 💚 Thank you DA💙
Absolutely! Let's pray it works out for all South Africans 🙏
Beautifully said.
Thank you John Steenhuisen, and every DA activist, every DA member, and every DA voter that this day of hope has arrived.
Strength and good luck to all.
I followed these elections as if they were in my own country - because for me SA is the best country in the world. Congratulations to DA and all the South African people. Greetings from Georgia 🇬🇪
Congrats DA , hope we have a better life now , first of all we need homes , pension grants need to increase ,Amen
South Africa really is the most beautiful country in the world
You are welcome to visit anytime my friend
We're no where near the best, but we for sure have the most potential to get there
Thanks DA ❤😂
Viva John, we as black South Africans now put our faith in you and the team, to deliver and rid off corruption and above all sort the crime. Viva John
Absolutely. I'm sure he'll do whatever he can within his means. Let's pray he doesn't have too much opposition to his programme so he can implement his goals.
God bless the People of South Africa 🇿🇦 with love from the UK 🇬🇧
The wisest and most beneficial move the ANC has made for South Africa since their appointment.
As a black man watching this election closely from Kenya, I wish SA all the best. Let all people who form South Africa be part of government. I wish you all the best and good luck from Kenya. Chris Pappa is my role model
Thank you brother!
❤
Thank you Jesus we must not stop praying for this wonderful country

I thank John Steenhuisen and the DA team, members and all the people who chose to vote for them and putting the people of South Africa first. It's will be a rough and tough journey, cleaning out trash, washing dirty hands and making them walk in the right path, God gives everyone a second chance. Well done DA,putting God first can move mountains and obstacles away. Hope for the best.
I take my hat off to you John Steenhuisen, may Jesus Christ our God bless you and inspire you to turn this country around and govern it in line with the Word of God. Amen
Yessss indeed
I'd like to know their stand on the following. Firstly, Christianity in our schools curriculum? Secondly, abortion? Lastly, Same sex marriages?
@@christoffsmit8359 they won't look at that i wish we can go back to Christ rules but our leaders are non christ
DA is for same sex marriage. He's not a Christian
Thank you DA, ANC & IFP.
Wonderful news! First time I've felt proud to be a South African in a very long time.
Agree 100%
I mean the RWC win last year was up there too hahah
@@Alex-ze2iija I was about to say, what about the back to back rugby world cups? 😂🍻
@@kristian762 hahah exactly I was thinking what? Did I dream that? 😂
Thank you DA we desperately needed to stop fighting against each other and much rather work together to rescue our beautiful country!!
Thank you, John, and the DA. Please put God first and ask Him for His wisdom like Solomon in the Bble.
Im very happy i voted for the DA. lets go Ladies and Gentlemen.
🙌Power to the people! Thank you for voting and participating in this turning point. Be blessed!
Let's go!!
I am a first time DA voter ex ANC…and Im happy with this Outcome…I voted for change and I hope the DA will be given room to bring about the change that we so desperately need as a Country💙this has given me hope🙌🏾
Thank you DA and all those who came out and voted for change.
Heartbreaking to hear John speaking so wonderfully but we made our choice as blacks voting for grants and RDP s instead of going jobs and clean government.god bless you John and da
Viva
I voted DA, as black man, 💙
I tear up reading these comments. South Africans have overcome so much, we, all deserve a better cleaner country for our children. 🇿🇦
John has a brilliant mind, an excellent leader! See zero notes, he speaks out of his heart and his brilliant mind. Not like the rest of politicians that can't even read their notes that was written by someone else. Thank you DA
He's reading from a teleprompter. Not saying he's not a good leader, just that he's not speaking off the cuff
Finally were all united ... Stronger Together ... We are now the best country in the world. I love you South Africa !!!!
We thank God for peace in our beloved country South Africa.
As a DA voter, I have never been so relieved to be in partnership with the ANC! I truly believe this is the best combination and look forward to see what the future holds.
Historic day for South Africa ❤❤❤ Please make this opportunity count, John. It’s time to turn things around.
White capitalism
Thankyou DA.. in you we trust to make SouthAfrica better for all..🎉
Thank you John ! John. Steenhuisen for Deputy President !
I prayed that the DA become our democratic Republic government I wish to continue to pray for my government to govern our people in Jesus Name 🙏 I love you John steenhesen, My prayer had been answered by God the have the victory,My vote didn't go in vein, I pray that God's blessings be with all DA and government authorities in Jesus Name Amen 🙏
You will need to convince people to vote them into power next time
Don’t put Jesus in this corruption of white supremacy
Pray hard EFF IS COMING
@@BLACKTEA-k8g Devils in red overalls, but they should be prisoners in orange overalls instead because of vbs
Let all of us , Black , White , coloured and Indian , give the GNU , A chance .? ❤. We will watch them and hold them accountable. This is the last HOPE FOR SOUTH AFRICA . WATCH THEM ❤❤❤.
Come South Africans let's take hands and work together - without prejudice and bias - we all want the same thing - a future for our children and grandchildren - together we can make this country great again!
@@sharonvisser3531 why dont you have a black ancestor?
@@The_First_Sean how will that change to whats happening here today...stop being dumb and lets move forward together for the sake of our country, our children and grand children
@@RG-jr8ym I'm not being dumb I'm prioritizing future self preservation, the only way I can guarantee that you will not try to kill me is if you have a black ancestor, because than you're black and have shared interest in not killing me, if you're a pure white then how can I know you will not try to cause me harm in future, in order to maintain that purity?
For the rainbow nation that the late Mandela envisaged .Let's not forget that our diversity is our strength ❤😊
DA the most trusting team
We love you JOHN bring peace back to our beautiful land and end corruption and greed.LONG LIVE SOUTH AFRICA
Thank you all fellow South Africans for a peaceful and successful democratic election. May we together build a bright future.
This is an awesome step forward for our country. Thank you to the ANC for putting the country first.
Totally agree!
Well done DA . If you can get us all on track in a good way , maybe some of our children that have left South Africa in huge numbers would consider coming home bringing their skills with them 🌸
That would be absolutely wonderful - all my grandbabies live in other countries
@@sharonvisser3531😢 i feel for the families so far torn apart. May Gods blessings be bestowed on everyone and all the tears of the past be part of yesterday.
Indeed ❤
THANK YOU DA TO GOD BE THE GLORY 💙 💙 💙
Yes! Not to men but to God and God alone!
GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE!! 🤲
Amen
Prayers Are Powerfull!!WE WILL Continue To Pray For Our Country
South Africa has chosen leaders (ANC, DA, EFF, MK) who support and condone the murder of unborn babies and who support and condone sexual immorality - even the church has chosen these leaders to govern our country. Both the church and the nation will suffer the dire consequences over the ensuing years.
Prayer will do what God can do🤲
@@cathydean4519 Amen🙏
AMEN

Rev 19:6 “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.
Goodluck SA. Voters put their trust in you. My humble and earnest request as a pensioner, please please put this country back on track
Now lets all save SA.
United we stand.
Unity is strength
John please look after your health, you're an impact player in this country and government and we need more like you.
Pray for those in authority always. They need it! In Jesus' name.
John Steenhuizen we thank you we love you indeed rescue us
Now, can this GNU PLEASE treat each other with respect and put aside your ego's.
SOUTH AFRICA FIRST!!!
Not your individual agendas.
God Almighty 1st and everything will change
@@lizetteuys5086 Amen to that
As a proud South African who has witnessed the significant transformations in our country, I am filled with a renewed sense of hope for the first time since 1994. It seems that a brighter future is within our reach, and I genuinely believe that we can work together to make our country truly great once more.
I want to express my gratitude to the ANC, DA, and IFP for recognizing the necessity of a government of national unity. It's clear that our citizens are yearning for national unity, and I appreciate the acknowledgement of that crucial need.
Well done DA! It is definitely the best news in a long time for our country! May this country finally be on the right path!
Thank you John, have always believed in you too take this country forward with the IFP and ANC.
Government of National unity - what a pleasure!!!!
I am very proud of the maturity both the ANC and the DA has shown in this whole process that has played off in front of us over the past 2 weeks. It could so easily have gone very wrong, but through steadfast leadership, it was guided through to an agreement that gives all responsible citizens with goodwill towards others of all nationalities, colour or creed, great hope for our future. A future of building, not burning, a future of development, not deterioration, a future where all people can prosper and not live in fear day by day. I pray just the best for the 3 partners, as the IFP also has a very important role to play in this Government of National Unity.
Congratulations South Africa
A good beginning. I'm very positive and hopeful. 🎉
God saves South Africa.
Proudly South African AGAIN ❤❤🙏🙏🇿🇦🇿🇦
White capitalism 😢
@@BLACKTEA-k8g Capitalism actually works unlike socialism, look at USA for example.
DA needs to have all our support in this difficult coalition. We need to watch its partners closely. It's just a beginning. Zimbabwean Zanu PF destroyed the opposition party MDC in coalition.
Oh boy, thank God. Amen. Together we shall grow all together United is onecSouth Africa like Madiba wanted.
Give Pappas a department.
That man deserve it he is a rockstar!
A very impressive speech. The DA leader is a future president of south Africa.
And we continue to pray for our country and our leaders, and every citizen of South Africa
DA number one🙏
See - DA delivers for the poor and vulnerable, BusinessDay.
Congratulations. We need you in there to stop the criminals.!!!
Well done, team!
We desperately need more DA influence in KZN. Perhaps with the support of IFP, more inroads can be made to fix our province.
Thank you, Jesus, for always protecting our beautiful country and its people 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amen
God bless South Africa! Faith in God can move a mighty mountain. Faith in God can calm the troubled sea.
Thank you, praise God
May God bless and strengthen and lead in wisdom, our new government of Unity. 🙏🇿🇦
Having lived in South Africa for 14 years as african refugee since the end of great Mandela's term and now in Australia, I have fallen in love with South Africans of all races despite the enormous challenges of security we shared. The safety and prosperity of all South Africans is all we want from this new government. Power to the people of South Africa. Amandla, awethu 🤝💪
DA will make us proud. My hope and prayer is that this could be a transitional process from partison politics, that are embedded in divisive ideological perspectives. I wish this transitional process could lead to good governance whereby SA governance wont be alighned to party politics but solely progressive governance. In 2029 we will have a paradigm shit in the minds of voters, politicians and all active institutions interested in democracy, particularly media. We are getting there, DA is a catalyst to usher in GNU that will ignite real inclusiveness and equality in SA
Thank you John.
I think the country as a whole - no matter the party one voted for - is taking a massive breath of relief today. What a year this 2024 will turn out to be!
To all the Parties: Stay the course, and make it your mission to get our beautiful South Africa to become a country of true prosperity through responsible, unified, and collaborative service.
Good luck and Godspeed to you all. Lord knows the people of SA deserves better
Brilliant address - I have hope again!!!
I honestly wanted you to be the Deputy President, Sir. Great job. Ex. KZN. Komani EC
This is a great opportunity of remedy SA.
I have faith in the DA sharing their expertise in Leadership.
now remove BBEEE
Wow
I love this country. I truly wish SA will have a prosperous future for all who live here. Thank you John. Help SA get there.
Thank God
Indeed, thank GOD ❤🙏🙏
I also take my hat off to the ANC - a gracious acceptance of the results 👏👏👏. Long live democracy!
President Steenhuisen, you are a true Statesman. Thank you for giving us hope for a better future for South Africa. God Bless the GNU.
Let pray for SA and God wil help SA if we trust and serving God and the dear Lord bless SA amen let us stand together
Thank you a million times over. Great work, DA.
Congrats! Let's hope and see the Govt become trustworthy and effective and enforce law and order. Best of luck to the new coalition Govt.
This is a great development. The outside world wishes your beloved country the very best. Be vigilant however. MK and EFF together in opposition can create a lot of challenges.
I am from MARGATE
For the grater good of our BELOVED country we believe that the DA will bring stability, grouth, investment FOR ALL SOUTH AFRICA... good proper and honest governess.... and help other parties to manage PROPERLY..
thank you DA❤❤
Tshepo ya rona re e beile matsohong a hao Ntate Steenhuisen ❤💙❤
Thank you DA. I don't understand why so many people say DA is here to take us back to Apartheid rule. DA is 1/3rd black, 1/3rd coloured and 1/3rd white. They are the most diverse party in our country!
I hope and pray all of SOUTH Africa realize the huge networks of prayers that preceded the election and the past 2 weeks.
These happenings are all in the
Greater plan for our country. ALL of South Africa have witnessed a miracle.
We must pray for braking the chains of corruption, murders, raping, stealing, disrespect, be able to take each other's hands. Then we will be truly free.
I am sick and tired of being afraid of my fellow South African, not to trust the goodwill of my fellow South African. Maybe some day soon....
