The DA is ready to lead Tshwane, the time for the ANC-ActionSA Mafia City is up! By Ald Cilliers Brink, DA Tshwane Mayoral Candidate Date:26 September 2026 Release: Immediate Note to Editors: The below is a speech extract from the speech delivered by Ald Cilliers Brink at the DA's Ready to Lead Tshwane Rally. Democrats, Only the DA can deliver a city that works. But we need a mandate and a majority. We need 50% plus 1 to end the coalition chaos. If we do not get that mandate, the ANC and its expanded network of comrades, cadres and tenderpreneurs will try to sabotage us. Because they do not want a city that works. Their leaders cannot afford a city that works. So they have to find other political parties to split the DA vote: So that Panyaza Lesufi and his friends can divide and rule. ActionSA asks the people of Tshwane for five more years: Five more years for what? Water tankers. Power outages. Rigged contracts. Jobs for pals. Five years, so that ActionSA can sell out the city to the ANC. No. Whenever you see Herman Mashaba you see a man easily manipulated by the ANC. Let him stay far away from our city. This place is not for him to sell out. After 4 November, Tshwane will either have a ANC-led government or a DA-led government. Every other party will have to align themselves to these two forces in one way or another. DA-led governments get towns and cities working. ANC-led governments is what broke and towns and cities to begin with. If you want a city that works, vote DA. On both ballot papers. Don’t split the vote. The ANC are master manipulators. If you risk your vote on a smaller party: You risk that party being bribed to sell your vote to the ANC. Let’s unite and win. Our capital city is worth fighting for. Its communities are worth fighting for. Its children are worth fighting for. And its future is worth fighting for. Help us to take back your city. And let’s get it working for all.
