🔒 The ANC in the Western Cape has launched its not-so-secret weapon in the form of President Cyril Ramaphosa to try to regain the province.
Campaign trail: ANC supporters came from afar to hear President Cyril Ramaphosa when he visited Khayelitsha in the Western Cape, stronghold of the Democratic Alliance.

The Democratic Alliance is punting current community safety MEC Alan Winde, the Freedom Front Plus will be fronted by political veteran Peter Marais, and the newly formed Good party is putting up former Cape Town mayor and party leader Patricia de Lille.
