‘The ANC must stop talking sh*t’: Zille says DA will not take away social grants
Zille has spoken out about what she calls a false ANC narrative about the DA.
Helen Zille, the mayoral candidate for the Democratic Alliance (DA) in Johannesburg, has vowed that her party will not take away social grants or return to the days of apartheid if they win local elections. Zille condemned the ANC's scare tactics aimed at elderly voters in predominantly black communities, describing their allegations as "falsehoods."
She emphasized that under DA governance, people receive better municipal services and that the ANC has been stealing the money instead. Zille urged the ANC to stop their "evil" campaign style, which intimidates people into voting for them despite their desire for change. The DA has accused the ANC of corruption, claiming they pose a greater threat to the social grant system.
Both parties have released their election manifestos and are urging voters to support them in the upcoming municipal elections on November 4th.
