Federal leader of the DA John Steenhuisen cast his vote in ward 36 at Northwood Boys’ High School in Durban North, KwaZulu-Natal on Monday and told the media afterwards he was excited to be back in his hometown, a place when he’d been involved in politics since his teenage years.
Steenhuisen arrived with his two daughters at Northwood High, a place he’d been voting at since 1994, shortly before 9am and was greeted by a hoard of elated supporters who were chanting his name as he made his way towards the voting station.
This was my ward for 10 years when I was a metro councillor. I have been involved with the DA here my whole life and I will be involved with the DA until my dying days because I passionately believe that this party is the future. It is the only party that is bringing together South Africans from different backgrounds, communities and religions around a common set of values and principles,” Steenhuisen told the media after casting his vote.
Steenhuisen said the party did not opt for a mayoral candidate in eThekwini because the party has chosen a ward-based approach.
“We did this in a number of metros, so we are focusing on a ward-by-ward approach to be able to grow our support here. It has worked for us in the last election. If we are in a position to have a mayoral candidate, then we will put a candidate up,” the DA leader added.
