Solly Msimanga: S.Africans can look forward to solutions-driven manifesto
Democratic Alliance Gauteng Premier Candidate Solly Msimanga South Africans can expect to hear more solutions to the country’s problems at the party’s manifesto on Saturday.
DA supporters have already painted Pretoria CBD blue in a march that from Church Square to the Union Buildings.
This is ahead of the party's manifesto launch at where party leader John Steenhuisen will address party supporters.
“The DA and the multi-party coalition have a greater chance of taking over government. We are just laying what that foundation is going to be like. We’ll be talking solutions - when talking about infrastructure, security and the economy. We want to put some timelines to some of our plans.”
The launch comes ahead of the 2024 national and provincial elections, scheduled to take place later this year.
Steenhuisen's address is expected to outline the party’s blueprint for a better South Africa.

At the same time, DA federal chairperson Ivan Meyer said the manifesto will highlight the party's transformative potential.
"This occasion transcends the boundaries of a mere event; it marks a movement of significant proportions, with the largest mobilisation effort in the history of the DA.
"Tens of thousands of DA supporters from every corner of South Africa will participate in the march from Church Square to the Union Buildings, showcasing an unprecedented level of enthusiasm,” said Meyer.
Meyer also used the opportunity to repeat calls for President Cyril Ramaphosa to announce an election date, saying the ANC has an unfair advantage by withholding the date of the polls.
