🍎SA agriculture is opening new doors! Under the leadership of DA Minister John Steenhuisen, 24 tonnes of premium SA apples have entered China under a zero-tariff deal. This is a major breakthrough, as SA produce is now even more competitive in one of the world’s biggest markets.

🚧 DA-run Cape Town teams are working around the clock to respond to flooding caused by heavy weekend rains. In just 24 hours, MMC Rob Quintas was on site, drains were cleared and streets were restored. Even in extreme weather, the City acts in record time to restore infrastructure. That is the DA difference!

@JHBWater JWCC-40148614 can we get an update? ETR? Escalation.

📣 Tomorrow at 09h00 the DA will announce the next group of Western Cape mayoral candidates, ready to step up and deliver for communities ahead of the local elections. This is about getting SA working. Watch it live on the DA’s Facebook or YouTube pages: youtube.com/live/kFUIV_y51…

Dada Morero skipped his appearance in the Gauteng High Court yesterday to speak at a Harvard Business School panel on “how mayors deliver results.”

This was Helen Zille’s response to the questions posed by Nigel Park. Something the original video seeks to deliberately cut out. It’s why he also got up and left the meeting, he did not want to sit and talk.

🤩🔥 The newly elected DA Federal Leader, Geordin Hill-Lewis, hit the ground running in Gauteng. The DA in Gauteng won multiple awards at the DA Federal Congress. 🥇 Here is more exciting news in the DA. 🗞️🔽

🚨 The DA welcomes the sentencing of Julius Malema for the illegal use of a firearm in public. Gun violence is out of control in SA, so any crime involving illegal gunfire is extremely serious. This sentencing sends a clear message that in South Africa nobody is above the law.

Another endorsement of the DA’s delivery track record! 🤩 Register to vote DA.

@LuyoloMphithi the fake X bots are outraged and working overtime to spread fake news 🤣🤣 Thank you all for watching the DA's best congress ever 👏🔥🙂

“Our country is no longer at a crossroads, for we have already chosen our path. We are choosing a government that will be accountable to its people.” -DA Ekurhuleni Mayoral Candidate, Khathu Rasilingwane. Check your registration at check.da.org.za to get SA working! 💙🇿🇦

Premier Lesufi boasts about MECs signing performance agreements — but refuses to make them public! 😡 What is he hiding? The DA suspects he is protecting incompetent cadres and coalition partners at the expense of Gauteng residents who continue to suffer failing services. Performance agreements must be published on the provincial website with clear targets, timelines and regular progress updates — as required by the Gauteng Executive Accountability Framework. Solly Msimanga MPL: “We cannot have departments failing to deliver basic services while MECs face no consequences. Transparency is non-negotiable.” The DA is writing to the Speaker, Chair of Chairs and the Gauteng Ethics Advisory Council demanding immediate publication of these agreements. A DA-led Gauteng would ensure full transparency, ethical leadership and real accountability so that every MEC delivers measurable results for the people. Residents deserve to know exactly what their leaders have promised — and whether they are delivering. #DAatWork #RescueSA #DA_GPL #FixGauteng #VoteDA #PerformanceAgreements #TransparencyNow #Accountability Read more: dagpl.substack.com/p/da-calls-on-…

The Border Management Authority has achieved its latest major breakthrough by intercepting a truck trying to smuggle explosives valued at R1 million into our country at Beitbridge. These particular explosives are often used in cash-in-transit heists and illegal mining. Vigilant BMA officers became suspicious and worked with SARS to use the advanced scanning technology at Beitbridge to detect a hidden compartment containing the illicit goods. The driver was arrested after attempting to flee and further SAPS investigations are underway. Day after day, we are making our country safer by restoring the rule of law at our borders! 🇿🇦
