Currently, Jane Sithole is the provincial leader. She was first elected in 2014, and unopposed in 2018.

“The DA’s federal leader, John Steenhuisen, will deliver an address that sets out why the general election of 2024 will be important for all South Africa, and why it is crucial for the DA to build on its incredible momentum as we approach this vital crossroads for our country,” Grobler explained.
The party said it would also release a media statement after the election to provide more information.
