The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Northern Cape says, they will be contesting the Sol Plaatje, Ward 1 by-election on 11 October 2023.
This is the second by-election to take place in this particular ward this year. The party says in a statement, a win for the DA could kickstart negotiations with other parties to unseat the ANC in the Northern Cape’s capital municipality and establish a multi-party government. The DA says during the launch of the DA’s candidate, Jocelyn Hart, at the Begonia Shanties in Roodepan they appealed to voters to stop enabling the ANC from further wrecking Sol Plaatje and to help restore stability and service delivery to the greater Kimberley area. The DA says they are confident that she will prove to be a dependable councillor on whom Ward 1 residents can count to raise their grievances and help get things done.
