DA’s strong headway in elections (20/05/11)

The DA held an entertaining rally at the RA Moodley Hall on Wednesday, 11 May 2011. Showcasing the ward candidates from the iLembe region was the host and DA chief whip, Madhun Singh. Many of the DA’s elite were present which included among others Cllr Ann McDonnell.
“You are all activists in the voting of the DA into the local constituency,” said McDonnell in what was a very brief speech from the ward 22 candidate.
Ajay Lekram, candidate for ward 13, who was programme director described Madhun Sing as “the spine of the DA.”
Madhun Sing or MS as he is known by the DA faithful started by saying the “toughest game is politics.”
This is a watershed moment in this KwaDukuza election. The ANC is running scared of the DA as the DA implements real service delivery. The DA’s solution is best as we make no promises. We are the watchdog of the taxpayer. Potholes are getting bigger. Service at local level is worsening. He went on to present the facts about service delivery directives at a local and national level. Sing feels that the ANC has failed to separate government from party.
“Cllr Colin Marsh and I left no stones unturned in finance within iLembe when we exposed a service provider who was paid for doing nothing. Now they have to pay back council R90 000-00 for 6 months,” said a defiant Madhun Singh.
The chief whip of the DA felt that the local media was biased in favour of the ANC and that every party needed a fair slice of media coverage. In ending Madhun Singh said: “The harder we work the luckier we get.”
The keynote speaker, Sandy Kalyan the DA MP at national level, pointed out how much she loved reading the KwaDukuza print media and mentioned the other parties.
“The DA made is the only party that makes no promises and our election campaign is very scientific,” said an emphatic Kalyan.
The DA is expecting 49% of the Indian vote, 70% of the White vote, 2% of the coloured and 11% in black areas as there is no middle class in the townships With regard to the open air toilet issue the DA only built 50 toilets without walls whilst the ANC built 1800 toilets. Kalyan admitted that the DA should not have put up the toilets.
Kalyan advised the DA faithful not to laugh at ANC Youth League president Julius Malema because of the statements he made. She reminded all that Malema made it boldly clear that he and/or the ANC were going to take back the land from the Whites and the Indians who Malema says benefited from the apartheid government. Kalyan was most disturbed when President Zuma and ANC Secretary General Gwede Mantashe, whom she holds in high regard, did not respond.
The Xpress Times conducted an interview with Kalyan in which she highlighted the party’s build up towards the national election in 2014. We have a strong presence on the social networks with Helen Zille on Twitter and YouTube.
DA policy ensures a corruption free government and supports one nation, one future.

SCIENTIFIC CAMPAIGNING: DA councillors and candidates together with MP Sandy Kalyan rearing to go all the way
