Maimane in town
The DA in Bela-Bela is pulling at all stops to retain Bela-Bela’s hotly-contested Ward 9 ahead of the by-elections scheduled for Tuesday 17 July.
DA leader Mmusi Maimane has since took time from his tight schedule to campaign for the party in Spa Park and Koppewaai on Sunday 27 May.
The ward was vacated by former DA councillor Kobus van der Merwe, who has since relocated to the Western Cape George.
Maimane visited hot on the heels of another whistle-stop tour by parliamentarian, Desriee van der Walt, and DA Limpopo leader, Jacques Smalle.
The DA leader, who has controversially self-modelled himself as the new Madiba, addressed a packed Spa Park Community Hall.
The DA leader promised sweeping changes with regards to the plight of the Spa Park and Koppewaai community, should the party retain the ward.
Local residents used the visit to sensitise Maimane about the closure of the local health clinic in the year 2015.
Van der Walt promised to present the residents’ petition to parliament.
