Western Cape Provincial Powers Bill

Dear Editor

The Federal Council of the Democratic Alliance today unanimously adopted a resolution proposed by DA Leader, John Steenhuisen to endorse the Western Cape Provincial Powers Bill tabled in the Western Cape Legislature on 26 May this year.

This Bill encapsulates the DAs approach to federal autonomy for provinces and metros that have the capacity to manage devolved functions from central government.

The DA will be pursuing this objective in all provinces where the DA will be in government following the 2024 election.

Regards

Helen Zille
DA Federal Council Chairperson

  2. Fun South African Fact: South Africa is known as the “Rainbow Nation” thanks to its mix of cultures across the country. The status of being a cultural “melting pot” is evident in the fact that South Africa has a whopping 11 official languages: English, Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa, IsiNdebele, Sesotho, Northern Sotho, Setswana, SiSwati, Tshivenda, Xitsonga. Most South Africans speak more than one national language. IsiZulu is the most common first language and isiXhosa is second. Fun fact – did you know the people of Wakanda speak isiXhosa in Marvel’s Black Panther movie?
