Steenhuisen calls on South Africans to register to vote for opposition parties' moonshot pact: “If a party is not part of the pact, they are on the side of the ANC and the EFF.”
While the political leaders who are part of the pact have the responsibility to lead by example by working together in the national interest, its success would ultimately depend on the people of South Africa doing the same, he said.
Steenhuisen was giving an update on the so-called moonshot pact of like-minded opposition parties which he first announced at the DA’s federal congress three months ago as a pre-election alliance aimed at removing the ANC from power in 2024. The DA, the IFP, Freedom Front Plus, ActionSA, United Independent Movement and the Spectrum National Party are part of the pact and will hold a national convention in Johannesburg next month.
