The launch comes at a pivotal moment in South African politics, with disillusionment with the ANC at an all-time high and the prospect of a new governing coalition looming on the horizon.
Addressing a crowd of supporters, Steenhuisen emphasized the DA’s dedication to serving the people of South Africa, launching what he called the “DA’s rescue plan” for the nation.
The manifesto, he claimed, was the result of the most comprehensive policymaking process in the party’s history, built upon updated policies adopted since 2019.
