A delegate at the DA's congress singing along during one of the congress's musical events on Saturday morning. DA interim youth leader Nicholas Nyathi, during his speech in which he said the DA shouldn't rest until the Union Buildings are blue. In a fiery opening address at the DA's national federal congress on Saturday, outgoing DA federal chairperson Ivan Meyer said his party was readying itself for a coalition government next year.
He says that can only be achieved if they understand that the clock is ticking. He questions why South Africa has high youth unemployment and about 80 murder as day. "This congress will shape what South Africa will look like under a DA-led government."| During the speeches from DA leaders, there has been much ANC-bashing. They have contrasted the ANC's failures with their service delivery record. There were also many mentions of the ANC's decline in electoral fortunes.
"It is about time that we completely write off the ANC as a party of the past, not the party of our future. A relic of the past that is completely disinterested in the liberation of its people from the clutches of poverty. Democrats, South Africa is no longer at crossroads. The ANC has brought us to a free-fall of destruction."DA Gauteng leader Solly Msimanga says his province will be the next battleground for the DA.
