Mangaung residents have the power to judge ANC’s record of chaos at voting polls

The DA respects the rule of law and the Constitutional Court's judgment. The judgement raises serious concerns about the precedent it sets for complying with the IEC’s deadlines and requirements, as courts have held that strict, mechanical compliance applies to deadlines in every matter to date.
Residents across Mangaung are tired of the chaos under the ANC. A party that cannot submit lists on time cannot be trusted to manage Mangaung's R14 billion budget. Only the DA is big enough to beat the ANC, and when we do that, we get towns and cities working.
The DA has been campaigning hard in every community across Mangaung, and we have a terrific head start over the ANC and its candidates that were hamstrung by their negligence with their lists.
On 4 November, residents of the Metro must now ‘pass judgement' on the ANC’s poor governance record and chaos by voting them out! The DA is ready to become the largest party in Mangaung and bring stability, clean, effective governance, service delivery, and jobs.
