DA Once Again Thrashes the ANC in Thaba Chweu by-election

DA Once Again Thrashes the ANC in Thaba Chweu by-election



The DA tonight won another crucial by-election in Ward 14 Thaba Chweu, when we scored a major victory with an overall increase from 49.23% of the vote in the May national elections to 68.2%.

The ward became vacant after Farhad Essack elected to Parliament, and in the wake of an intensive campaign, led to the election of Willem De Jongh to take the DA’s vision forward.

Of significance, is the DA’s growth in the Skhila community, where the DA’s percentage of votes grew by 15.62% in the short space of two months since the National election in May?  This is resounding proof of the inroads that the DA is making into ANC strongholds in the province.

The DA extends its most sincere thanks to each and every voter who came out to cast their votes today, and we humbled by the confidence that residents have in our abilities to hold the Thaba Chweu municipality to account.


We are confident that Willem and his DA colleagues in the local council will continue to serve the needs of Ward 14 residents, along with those of the greater Thaba Chweu municipality.
