Is the DA in need of rescue?
After John Steenhuisen’s re-election as the leader of the DA in April 2023, hopes were high for the party to become South Africa’s alternative government. However, recent polls indicate a decline in support for the DA, causing concern among party members. The upcoming 2024 elections will be crucial for the DA’s future, especially in the Western Cape where the party is in danger of losing its majority.
Steenhuisen’s controversial remarks and the party’s flag-burning ad have sparked debates about the DA’s tactics and messaging. As the election showdown in the Western Cape approaches, the DA faces a tight-rope walk to maintain its stronghold in the province.
This week’s Friday Briefing explores whether the DA, known for its “Rescue SA” tagline, needs rescuing itself. Insights from political experts and analysts shed light on the challenges and opportunities facing the party in the lead-up to the elections.
Join us for a deep dive into the future of the DA and its role in shaping South Africa’s political landscape.
