Every day, the Democratic Alliance grows stronger. From an opposition party to a party of government. From governing Midvaal in 2000, to leading a coalition in Cape Town in 2006, and governing the whole of the Western Cape outright by 2009…
Today, the DA is bigger than ever, bigger than the next six parties combined, and on the verge of bringing the ANC below 50% in the 2024 national election.
Millions of South Africans across the country now experience some form of DA governance!
uMngeni is the DA’s first government in KwaZulu-Natal. Having inherited a broken municipality, it is now proudly debt-free.
DA-led Midvaal is rated the best-run municipality in Gauteng.
The best-performing province in South Africa, the Western Cape, is set to become load shedding free.
Where we don’t govern yet, the DA is fighting for better service delivery in all communities.

This court action seeks to undo and correct what is the single most damaging ANC crime against the people of South Africa.
Never before has one party taken the internal policy of another party to court but, in this case, we are doing so because the ANC policy of cadre deployment corruption has made its way from the corridors of ANC headquarters into government itself.
Cadre deployment corruption is the ANC’s policy of parachuting devoted ANC friends into jobs in the public service – be it as a municipal official or as a high-ranking Eskom employee – with a very comfortable salary.
These “cadres” are chosen by a cadre deployment committee at ANC headquarters. They are not the best qualified, they did not come through interviews best, nor are they the best fit for these roles, but because they are devoted to the ANC, they get the job and can then do ANC work on the side.
Please consider helping us fund crucial court action to stop this.
We must stop the ANC from implementing their policy of cadre deployment corruption in government and entrenching a failed state, by having it declared unconstitutional and illegal.
Only by replacing cadre deployment with professional, merit-based appointments will we be able to replace South Africa’s failing, politically captured state institutions with capable, independent, professional institutions able to deliver quality services to all. It is a war well worth fighting and one we must win.
The DA rejects the 18.65% electricity tariff increase and the endless roll-out of load shedding! The electricity crisis is the biggest crisis our country has faced in the history of our democracy. Your donation will go towards the DA’s urgent interdict from the High Court of South Africa to stop the unconstitutional electricity tariff hike dead in its tracks.
In light of the worsening electricity crisis, and the National Energy Regulator of South Africa’s (NERSA) decision to grant Eskom unaffordable tariff increases of 18.65%, we have instructed our lawyers to apply to the High Court of South Africa for an interdict to stop the implementation of this tariff increase.
South Africans have already had to spend a third of 2022 in darkness and are burdened with indefinite Stage 6 load-shedding!
Please show your support by making a donation towards this court action.
With a high court interdiction, the ANC-led government will have a 30-day deadline to file a comprehensive energy crisis action plan and lay out solutions!
Enough is enough! South Africa will no longer be kept in the dark!

Today, the DA is bigger than ever, bigger than the next six parties combined, and on the verge of bringing the ANC below 50% in the 2024 national election.
The DA is the reason that the Western Cape is rated the best-performing province.
Thanks to innovative energy interventions like solar, hydro and wind, the Western Cape now protects residents from up to two stages of load-shedding, with a plan to end rolling blackouts in the province over the next three years.
98% of the 69 000 jobs created in the last quarter of 2022 were all located in the Western Cape, and the unemployment rate is 12.6% lower than the next best-performing province.
Murder rates are falling as the DA introduces over 1 300 LEAP officers to assist SAPS in crime hotspots. Crime fighting tech is also changing the game in the City of Cape Town’s worst-affected areas with gun-shot detection devices.
In the 2024 elections, let’s make sure we keep the Western Cape DA so that we can do even more!

The DA is taking pre-emptive legal action against the rampant intimidation and threats of violence being peddled by the EFF across the country ahead of their so-called enforced “national shutdown” planned for Monday, 20 March.
Please help us to prevent further chaos and damage to the economy by making a donation towards our court action.
It would be a mistake to underestimate the damage that the EFF’s enforced “national shutdown” could cause to businesses and workers. That is why we are going to court for an urgent interdict against the EFF, so that looters and anarchists can be stopped in their tracks.
The DA has zero tolerance for violence, and we will not take chances with people’s businesses or livelihoods.
The effect will be to prohibit minorities from employment in some sectors and provinces. In other cases, such as in the Northern Cape, companies will be in violation of the law if they employ “too many” black women.
Help us fight the ANC’s race quotas in court.
If businesses fail to comply, they will face severe penalties – including the inability to do business with the state, the cancellation of existing state contracts, compelling orders, and fines.
Please help us get the Gauteng High Court to declare the ANC’s new Race Quota Act invalid and unconstitutional.

Your support will help us make this congress a success.
The formerly DA coalition-run Eastern Cape town of Nelson Mandela Bay was starting to look very different to the neglected and dilapidated ANC-run Eastern Cape towns of Makhanda and Queenstown. The work we were doing in NMB, and in the rest of the province where we have managed to form in-roads, has been demonstrating to residents, as well as the rest of the South Africa, what can be achieved through good governance.
In Nelson Mandela Bay, over 14 000 water leaks were repaired, more than 20 000 potholes were filled and over 15 000 street-lights were switched back on.
1700 title deeds were handed over to new homeowners, rezoning was approved (representing millions in investment) and 393 homes were built (with more planned to come.)
8 000 billing queries out of a backlog of 13 500 were resolved and an impressive R1.17 billion of accumulated bad debt was cleared!
The town of Kouga is still DA-led, and in this municipality we have taken proactive measures against the potential ‘Day Zero’ water crisis, with more than R200 million spent on drought mitigation water augmentation already.
Further to that, Kouga has established 38 viable boreholes with R12.5 million secured to develop and equip even more.
Please help strengthen the DA by donating towards our election campaign in the Eastern Cape.
We can bring the DA difference to the whole of the Eastern Cape if we all work together.
The reason that Midvaal Municipality is the best-run municipality in Gauteng is that it has been led by a DA government for over 20 years now!
Help us bring this kind of service delivery to the whole province, and indeed the whole country!
Evidencing honest leadership and spending, Midvaal Municipality is, in fact, one of the top two municipalities nationwide for municipal audit outcomes – having received consistent clean audits for many years.
Due to good governance, Midvaal’s unemployment rate is less than half the national average.
Over 3000 housing opportunities are being created in Midvaal over the next few years to provide poor residents with quality homes, while the Kgatelopele Youth Programme is giving 250 young entrepreneurs skills to build businesses and access to 100 hectares of land for farming.

DA-run areas in Gauteng set the bar very high. It is time we bring this DA difference to the whole province!
The DA has been in court for nearly two years in an attempt to declare the Disaster Management Act unconstitutional, because the Act gives sweeping powers to Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma with zero parliamentary oversight. That is why we saw massive looting and irrational regulations during the COVID-19 National State of Disaster.
Instead of repeating that mistake, the DA has consistently called for any interventions on the disaster that is our electricity system to be strictly focused – or “ring-fenced” – only to that sector.
This is to remove the red tape standing in the way of massive private investment and generation, and to bypass BEE and localisation requirements to ensure that Eskom gets enough diesel, is able to hire the skilled employees it needs, and to speed up its unbundling process.
