South Africa has changed forever
On 29 May 2024, history was made.
For the first time in 30 years, the ANC lost its majority rule as millions of South Africans cast their votes and made their voices heard.
This monumental shift ignited hope across the nation, ushering in a new era for South African politics. The Democratic Alliance (DA), with its unwavering commitment to good governance, constitutional integrity, and zero tolerance for corruption, has emerged as the cornerstone of the Government of National Unity (GNU).

The mission to rescue South Africa has only just begun. The GNU has transformed Parliament into a vibrant arena for ideas. No single party holds a majority, but with the DA’s proven track record of getting things done, South Africa is starting to experience governance that prioritises job creation, economic growth, placing the people first and clean government.
