Maimane warns Western Cape voters of ANC, EFF coalition

DA leader Mmusi Maimane says voting for the ANC is equal to voting for corruption.

Fearing an ANC/EFF coalition in the Western Cape, the DA has used Workers’ Day as a last-ditch attempt to keep control of the province.

“The best branch of the ANC is in heaven, the next branch is going to be in Pollsmoor Prison not far from here when we put 15-years for corrupt politicians,” said Maimane who was speaking at his party’s Workers’ Day rally at the Hillsong Church in Cape Town.

The party is promising more jobs, especially for the youth, if its 10-year term is extended.

Maimane told supporters they should not vote along racial lines – but rather for a party that can serve the desires of many.

The DA is also begging the electorate not to vote for smaller parties, saying they will band together with the ANC, to take control of the Western Cape.

Western Cape Premier Helen Zille was brought on board to galvanise support and joined the final DA rally in the province before election day.

“If we don’t get over 50 percent, the ANC and EFF together will get over 50-percent. And then this province will be taken from us. Then, corruption and everything that goes along with it will return,” Zille said.
