Joburg: DA Leader Maimane to lead #HandsOffMashaba march

29th November 2017

Tomorrow, 30 November 2017, Democratic Alliance (DA) Leader, Mmusi Maimane, will lead a march to the Johannesburg City Council. The march is in support of the DA-led coalition government, which has brought a New Beginning to the country’s economic capital.

Under the leadership of Mayor Herman Mashaba, the DA-led coalition government in the City of Johannesburg Metro has over the last 18 months made significant progress in delivering on its three broad election commitments of stopping corruption, creating job opportunities and delivering quality services.

The deliberate interventions by the new government have been so effective that since taking office over 1 year ago, Mayor Mashaba and his team have achieved what the ANC failed to do in over 20 years.

Thursday’s motion of no confidence in Mayor Mashaba and Speaker Vasco da Gama is nothing but a ploy by the ANC to regain control of the people of Joburg’s money and reverse the great work of the DA-led administration. The ANC’s priority is not the people, they are focused on looting.

To make our voices heard in support of the progress made, thousands of Joburg residents will gather as follows:

Date: Thursday, 30 November 2017
Time: 08:30
Gathering Point: Pieter Roos Park, Empire Road, Parktown
End Point: Johannesburg City Council

The Leader will be joined by DA National Spokesperson, Refiloe Nt’sekhe, DA Gauteng Provincial Chairperson, Mike Moriarty, and DA Johannesburg Regional Chairperson, Heinrich Volmink.

We call upon all Joburg residents to come out in their numbers to ensure that we Keep Making Progress in Joburg.
