SA’s first ever virtual political congress

By

Dear MyPE

The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Eastern Cape will be making history when it holds South Africa’s first ever virtual political congress.

This historical congress takes place tomorrow, 29 August 2020, from 10h00 and everything is ready for it to be a great success.

A new Eastern Cape political leadership will also be elected.

The DA and its members have already shown faith in its current leadership by nominating unopposed Nelson Mandela Bay Councillor Nqaba Bhanga, as Provincial Leader and Andrew Whitfield MP, as Provincial Chairperson.

The re-election of the Provincial Leader and Provincial Chairperson will be confirmed at the congress, but the elections of two Deputy Provincial Leaders and three Deputy Provincial Chairpersons will also take place.

The nominations for Deputy Provincial Leader are:

Bobby Stevenson, Terence Fritz, Chantel King and Dharmesh Dhaya.

The nominations for Deputy Provincial Chairperson are:

Marshall von Buchenroder, Yusuf Cassim, Vicky Knoetze and Wonga Potwana.

The DA is committed to internal democracy and accountability to its supporters. We will continue finding innovative solutions to the many challenges we face due to the Covid-19 lockdown.

Regards

Mlindi Nhanha, MP
DA EC Provincial Spokesperson
