Dear Editor
Today, Alan Winde, the DA’s candidate for Premier in the Western Cape, launched the DA’s provincial manifesto in Paarl.
This manifesto sets out, in detail, the DA’s successes as the Western Cape government and why we have consistently emerged as the best performing provincial government in South Africa.
Most importantly, the manifesto also sets out the DA’s plan to improve on our already excellent service delivery record for the people of the Western Cape, and contains our seven pledges to keep delivering to all the people of the Western Cape.
The DA pledges to:
- Create 800 000 new jobs.
- Fight crime with 1 300 law enforcement officers, Rural Safety Units and K9 Units.
- Cut loadshedding by four stages.
- Push for control of policing, transport and the ports.
- Build more schools faster and deliver quality education for all.
- Deliver a world-class public health service.
- Run a clean, innovative government that delivers for all.
The DA-run provincial government is leading the way in every crucial aspect of delivery: creating jobs through a growing economy, reducing crime, cutting loadshedding, building schools, improving health, and putting people before politicians.
There is only one party with the track record and the vision to govern effectively.
That party is the Democratic Alliance.
The DA succeeds in government because it governs for the people.
The Western Cape was rescued from the ANC back in 2009. In that time, the DA has shown the rest of South Africa that it is possible to build a government that works.
To keep delivering to the people of the Western Cape, the DA calls on every registered voter in the province to vote for the us on 29 May 2024.

Regards
Alan Winde
DA Western Cape Premier Candidate

A new teacher enters a classroom full of students.
The teacher stands at the front of the room and greets the students, \”Good morning, class.\”
None of the students say anything. One boy at the back of the classroom stands up, \”Good morning, teacher.\”
Puzzled, the teacher carries on. The following morning, the same thing happens. Day after day goes by, and it\’s the same routine.
One morning after greeting the class and the same student standing and greeting, the teacher has had enough, \”Why is it, that every time I walk in and greet the entire room, only you stand up and greet me?\”
In the most broken English, the boy replies, \”Because I are the only one here, what\’s name are Klass\”
