This week, the DA announced its mayoral candidates for five major metros during an elaborate media event in the Nelson Mandela Bay. “There are 276 unique political parties that submitted candidates of which two are contesting in all the 257 municipalities in the country. Meanwhile the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) and ActionSA led by former Johannesburg mayor Mashaba are also hoping to chop away support from the major three parties. In Cape Town, former DA mayor Patricia de Lille’s Good party is hoping to take a chunk of the DA’s vote in coloured communities. The Good party together with smaller parties such as the Patriotic Alliance, Al jamah and Cape Coloured Congress have also submitted their lists to the IEC.
