ANC Loses Ward 26

Dear Editor

The Democratic Alliance (DA) surged to victory, winning ward 26 in eMalahleni Local Municipality from the ANC, in yesterday’s hotly contested by-election. This historic victory in Mpumalanga signals continued voter confidence and great momentum as we make inroads in ANC strongholds, ahead of the 2026 Local Government Elections.

Voters from diverse communities are endorsing the DA’s proven track record of good governance, rejecting corruption and failed policies that have locked people out of opportunities.

The DA’s newly elected Ward Councillor, Sonja Liebenberg, will now join the DA team of hardworking Councillors who are fighting in councils for better delivery and basic services.

Residents of ward 26 eMalahleni have been subjected to poor service delivery for far too long a time, with the previous ANC Councillor also implicated in an alleged rape scandal.

We express gratitude and thank each voter who turned out to vote DA. We also commend the DA campaign team, staff, activists and our public representatives who worked day and night during this by-election.

Regards

Jane Sithole
DA Mpumalanga Provincial Leader
