The Democratic Alliance (DA) has announced its intention to contest all 112 wards within the eThekwini Municipality in the upcoming local government elections. This bold move was unveiled in Durban on Monday, as the party detailed its preparations for the November elections.
Dean Macpherson, the DA KwaZulu-Natal Chairperson, revealed that 65% of the party's candidates are new councillors, while 35% are returning members. Macpherson emphasized that each candidate has undergone thorough assessments to ensure they are well-equipped to tackle the challenges faced by their communities and are ready to address local issues.
Macpherson stated, "We have not opted for the status quo. We have listened to our voters, we have consulted with our communities and carefully considered the skills and commitment required to turn our Ethekwini around." He added, "This team of highly experienced individuals, spanning various sectors of society including business and faith-based organizations, will work under Haniff Hoosen to drive positive change in eThekwini."
