DA ready for General Election
The party said it was confident that its election campaign was watertight. It revealed this before its final election build-up rally in Benoni, Ekurhuleni, on 26 May 2024. Briefly News reported that the party's head of policy, Matt Cuthbert, denied claims that its campaign sought to paint the DA as Mzansi's saviour.
