🌧️ Jeffreys Bay is getting improved stormwater infrastructure!
Kouga Local Municipality is investing R1.6 million to upgrade stormwater systems at the corner of St Croix and St Francis streets.
The six-month project includes new stormwater pipes, catchpits and the rehabilitation of existing drainage infrastructure to improve water flow and reduce the risk of localised flooding.
Investing in essential infrastructure means stronger, more resilient communities.

The Western Cape now has 69,000 more jobs than a year ago, bringing total employment to 2.88 million. That’s 69,000 more people with an opportunity to earn an income, support their families and build a better future.
We are also the only province where employment grew compared with the same time last year.
Our unemployment rate has dropped to 19.4%, well below the national rate of 33.7%.
We will keep doing everything we can to grow the economy, remove barriers and connect more residents to jobs.

Check out this thick hyacinth covering the deep green water in the Roodeplaat Dam in Tshwane. They are manually removing it, but it will keep returning until we stop the sewage that feeds it. I’m doing what I can to restore the dam for recreation activities.

A bittersweet victory for the DA in Stellenbosch. 💙

We honour her memory and thank every voter who made this victory possible.

The DA won votes in this ward and already showing off that they are delivering. I voted ActionSA but I like this speed by the DA in delivering on their election promises.

The DA has fought for Joburg because we believe in its extraordinary potential and, above all, in the millions of people who call this city home. We will approach every negotiation with conviction, principle and an unwavering commitment to the future this city deserves.
We are here to serve, to rebuild, to restore hope and to get Jozi working. Whatever the political landscape, the DA will never lose sight of that responsibility.
Our purpose has never been simply to win power. It has always been to use it to make a difference in people’s lives.
That’s the DA difference.

In DA-governed uMngeni, we're helping vulnerable families turn the dream of a safe, dignified home into reality, one family at a time, through our mud house eradication programme.
This is the difference a stable, working government makes when residents choose leadership that puts people before politics and turns promises into meaningful progress.

Just looking at some Cape Town results in detail. 🥹🥹
These are the wards where the DA made the largest gains. These wards are in: Gugs, Khayelitsha, Gugs, Langa, Khayelitsha, Nyanga, Philippi, Sun Valley/Noordhoek, Atlantis/Mamre, Nyanga/Crossroads, Mfuleni!
A very meaningful political shift for the DA!
Im so grateful to these tens of thousands of voters who have responded so well to the efforts we’ve made.
I’m even more inspired to redouble efforts to improve services and dignity for all!

In 2006 when I led the DA in local govt elections, ANC under Thabo Mbeki won 64% and we got 16%. This week 20 years later ANC won 31% and DA 24% -back then gap was 48 points and now it has narrowed to just 6 or 7. The famous ‘ long haul’ just got a lot shorter

The Democratic Alliance Federal Executive met today to engage on the DA's election results. The party has hit the ground running.
The FedEx has resolved that the DA must engage all parties that share a commitment to clean and accountable government, rooting out corruption, service delivery for all, the rule of law, and non-racialism.
The DA approaches these discussions with humility, and we will respect the will of the voters.
Coalition discussions will be coordinated nationally under the Federal Executive's authority to ensure a consistent, principled approach across the country.

I know he quietly goes about it in the background, but I want to give a shout-out to @AshorSarupen for his efforts & leadership in the @Our_DA.
@geordinhl has a strong leadership team, & the DA’s growth is testament to that.
I’m glad the public & voters are backing them! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
