Cilliers Brink

The DA is the biggest party in Tshwane. The voters have spoken, and we respect their decision. We will approach coalition talks with humility, principle and determination.

The DA will emerge from the 2026 local government elections as the biggest party in the Tshwane Metro. We aimed for a complete win to end the coalition chaos. But this is not what we will get. In a democracy you have to play the cards dealt to you by the voters, and this is what we will do. We approach coalition negotiations with humility, openness, but also principled determination. Our federal leader Geordin Hill-Lewis has outlined the DA’s approach to working with other parties, and I want to encourage you to read his statement in this regard. In the meantime I’m overjoyed by the high turnout by DA voters, our double digit growth in nearly all township wards, and opportunities created by the seismic shift in support among especially black voters. We all expected the ANC to lose support, but the size of the loss shocked even us. I once again want to thank each and every voter who chose the DA, every hardworking candidate, and every volunteer who helped on the election days. Also thank you for all the messages of support, including many of you who have told me that we are in your prayers.

To every Tshwane resident who voted for the DA, thank you! Your support has brought us one step closer to securing a majority and taking our city back.

Every vote counts, and every vote brings us closer to ending the coalition chaos, restoring accountability and getting service delivery back on track.

This is just the beginning. The fight for a better Tshwane continues, and together, we can get this city working again!
Thank you, Tshwane! 💙

The lights are off, residents are frustrated, but the Head of Electricity is out campaigning for the ANC. Tom Mutshidza, surely the power should come before politics?🤨

Let’s get the DA votes out to give us a majority and root out these ANC cadres once and for all!💪🏼
