DA to announce CT mayoral candidate
The Democratic Alliance will on Monday announce its Cape Town mayoral candidate for this year’s local government elections.
DA leader Mmusi Maimane will make the announcement at about 2.30pm, the party said in a statement.
The DA members in the race for the mayoral candidacy would appear before the DA’s electoral college on Monday morning, where one would emerge successful.
Those in line to be named as mayoral candidate include current incumbent Patricia de Lille, Guy Andrews, Daniel Jacobs, Peter Meakin, and Ursula Schenker.
De Lille has been mayor of Cape Town since the 2011 local government elections. She was named the world’s best mayor in May 2013 by “City Mayors”, a publication monitoring the work of mayors who “have served their communities well and who have made contributions to the well-being of cities nationally and internationally”.
