DA leader John Steenhuisen spoke on the roles in government the party had acquired and what steps they planned to take to improve Parliament within the Government of National Unity (GNU).
Vuvu, I hope this amount of corruption is at least reduced and tenders are offered fairly to allow for companies to form correctly and create jobs for the people and not government cronies
My sister little do you know that your own government has sold you out, a White men will always put his race first no matter what, Politics is about who gets what when and how ? This are the famous words of Harold lasswell
@@mars_rsa1161 o! absolutely. The work ahead looks enormous but I'm positive they'll do their best to improve the current situation. We have suffered enough under the ANC dictatorship.
Please bring the word of God in school learners need to be taught good Manners and teatchers given more rights to discipline learners shool premises are no longer save learners Cary knives and they hurt one another and they don't respect teatchers
I am an ANC member, but I am glad that we are in the GNU, reflecting diverse political view and approach, even minority views will be heard, keep checks and balances intact to stop the brazen corruption and arrogance when only one party dominates. As things stand, South Africa is ready to move forward. 🇿🇦🔥🔥🔥
GOVERNMENT DOES NOT create jobs - government creates a framework and regulations that allows small businesses to create jobs. DA - GET RID OF THE BELA BILL! ; it is pure discrimination and attacks parents. BBBEE is a racist policy which costs millions of jobs and billions of Rands per year. You do not empower someone by first disempowering someone else. We don't need more laws - We need more freedoms.
DA supporter here, your comment gave me goosebumps. I truly hope that everyone stands together for the sake of the survival of South Africa. Corruption is a big threat.
I agree with you... We already tried the one party domination system twice, first under the National Party in Apartheid, and second under ANC... Both times failed... We need something new, and I hope GNU is the answer to that
Do good, honourable, responsible work for the people of South Africa. That's all that everyone wants and needs right now. Stop the corruption, nepotism, and such. Cut the red tape to achieve and do things for entrepreneurs and business. Protect our farmers...Our country will soar.
Nothing you’ve said is in John’s interest. Remember when he flew over to Ukraine as that war broke out...why? If you can’t answer that then what do you actually know of the DA.
@@insidiousantimason2025 but that's the purpose of GNU, each party will keep each other in check... U act as if John has total power in SA, he's not the president, he's minister of Agriculture.... How exactly is he going to do whatever he wants if he does not have the political power that the president does? Look I don't like Steenhuisen either, DA was better under Maimane but Maybe look at the actual structure of the GNU and understand it before just dismissing it completely... Your comment just shows you don't want SA to be better, you just want the same crap we've been dealing with for the passed decade under ANC rule
Please throw out CAPS, learn from Singapore how to teach maths and look at countries like Finland how to reform our boring, mediocre and archaic education system. Please, kick out teachers who are abusing children, getting little girls pregnant and being plain negligent. Get them out of the system and into jail.
Understand that kids abuse teachers too. They vandalize school properties and attack/bully one another, especially in township schools. Changing the education system is not easy if parents don't get involved to. It starts at home 👍
I hope you guys do a better job. Because the systems in place at wced is horrible. E-recruitment is a joke! School safety in many local schools are still a major concern. So I will make it my duty as a voting citizen to hold the government and the DA accountable especially within education.
In Pretoria the Rooiwal sewage and power facilities has been under DA administration since 2016, I challenge you to find how many tenders they’ve signed since then and how many billions the city has spent on salaries over the past eight years for workers to just show up. Then add the *trillions* of emergency funds spend on trucking unpolluted drinking water to thousands affected by Rooiwal. That is the DA.
@@insidiousantimason2025 From what I've read, none of the 5 members pointed out as manipulating the awrarding of the tender were appointed by the municipal council, so it couldn't benefit DA members, and the tender was awarded to a known ANC aligned business. The DA expressed their gratitude and welcomed investigations to clear up any corrupt members. The DA also admitted faults for not being able to sniff out it earlier, although they have the job of dealing with systemic corruption from the last 30 odd years. So things like this are bound to slip through. While not perfect, I see this as far more preferable over protecting and denying corruption allegations like the ANC is known to do.
Pay no attention to those who constantly pick on your lack of academic achievements, Mr. Steenhuisen. Zuma was worse, with zero academic qualities. He was a cattle-herder who couldn't read figures, and nobody picked on that. His only qualifications were his armed struggle credentials.
@@bulelwambono3032DA promised to go about jobs on the basis of merit. People should not mistake that for so called division but rather who is best for the job.
What happens then ? Corruption and theft has been going on for 30 , mostly by people who were or are in any leading position , what is going to scare them off, especially if it involves 10's or 100's of millions of rand ? Let's hope this new government will do something better in the next 5 years , than they had done in the past 30 years.
Well said John we have utmost trust that things will be going well and things will be changed for the better in our once beautiful South Africa. Lets work together to make it beautiful once more
It's still early days and we're walking a very thin line right now. The political climate is very fragile and things could change in the blink of an eye. As with all things, it needs regular and constant maintenance, or else it will fail just like service delivery had under the ANC.
ask Mackenzie about the Damage Alliance Party. you will regret voting yellow people who divide SA in to Orania for them only and the same is called for capetown
@@ondakagroup1564 I've been to many areas of the western cape, both good and bad and it's still way better than the areas of Gauteng and Tshwane. I live in Gauteng, its a mess. Its desperately needing improvement. Even the best areas of Johannesburg have fundamental failures in infrastructure, safety and security. Capetown looks like one of the best cities in world. They dont even compare.
Please do something about helping the Military Veterans get their pensions. It's taking veterans 2 -3 years to get registered and get their pensions. It took me a whole six months just to get my documents from the military archives. Why does it take so long? Why the delays? We're tired of excuses, unresponsiveness, and blank stares.
There's plenty of proof. The DA has committed to protect Rama from this, so what does that say about their policy on fighting corruption? @@stevedavidson666
Godzille said upfront "Ramaphosa stays" so there's no ways they're going to do anything about Phala-Phala - because the DA traded Squirrel's secirity for their place at the trough..... All politicians are filthy!!! not just the ANC
Which Country do you came from or maybe he is a Bass Boy nobody is above the Law, how can he keep more than million to his house Ramaphosa must Account like it or not. DA must not be biased ANC Ministers and their President Account without fair and favours ✊✊@@stevedavidson666
The farmers will be doing the farming. Land ownership is not the mandate of Ministry of Agriculture but Land Reform which was removed from the Ministry as ANC wants control of that element. So things might continue as before as ANC has never practiced land reform with the land available for distribution presently.
The ANC needs to give over the millions of hectares of land that the government controls to its people and let the farmers keep doing their jobs so your family can eat.
@@albinobeach farming should be compulsory,in my view,almost every citizen should be allowed and given access to farming,because if everyone can produce,price of food will be reduced,but as long as few are producing food for profit,food will always be expensive
This is a great Opportunity for DA to shine ,especially in Education as well, Educate our People so they vote Wisely and build South Africa to the Best, Now 30% pass rate People are all over , Dont even understands the importance of Voting, Haikhona!
Good DA, please do not give tenders to these criminals, they do not even complete the projects yet submit their skyrocketing invoices to their friends in government so that they can be rich by day.
Getting this done is important. No more corruption and BEE should be removed, people that can do the jobs, honor their jobs, are greatfull for their jobs, energetic to do their jobs, strive to do their jobs well and have the knowledge to do them right should be appointed. No matter what race. Then SA will change and get new investors and create more jobs. Stop BEE and give everyone a fair chance at life
When they say quality education they mean on public school where their children are not attending,the question is why they are failing to give public Schools the facilities that are private
We all know that you are inherit a ministerial department that might be highly corrupt. You have a lot of work to do and we will listen to the ANC when they try to play the blame game on you
DA can get more voters in the next elections..ppl need to go out and vote..DA is the only party with diversity, represents all citizens...it's crucial for DA to do more than they best..change must be seen..wish DA all the best..Glad my vote is not gone to waste..always a DA supporter🎉..also like IFP leader..wish you do well too🎉
I want every one investigated and charge with crimes against humanity that was part of the South Africa government, media and central bank, in the last 60 years also want all the wealth that was looted from South Africa returned.

@@eenigheid3186 , hmm should have got more though . As DP would be right at the coal face , doubt we will ever hear anything about the horse trading . Seriously though , if the position is not important , why bother ? Why want to be the main man ? it is the only thing for most politicians . yes , have foot in the door , should have kicked it in . So 5 more years to finally rid the country of the ANC . Then we have EFF and MK , a merry band . will Jules and JZ kiss and make up ? When is JZ due back in court ?
@@scottgordon1781 The reasons you quote for those becoming "leaders" is the exact reason why South Africa is what it is now. The focus of a true leader (not wanna be's) is to make good on his/her election promises and commitments. A true leader is guided by a moral code not ego and money.
@@eenigheid3186 wow , not sure how that message got across ? Make good on election promises . that is an issue . I could not make a promise unless I was totally sure that I would fulfill it if needed . Like wedding vows . political parties are more involved :-) With respect , getting the Top job has to be a boost to the ego :-) As for my salary , donate to a good cause . Not as if I am paying a bar bill . All expenses :-) might cut down on the blue light brigade !
Ry daai trekker,ry hom, good luck js, show us the way forward, agriculture is the basics,get all cylinders tuned and running will carry rsa forward,thank you all.
We would like to have the DA in the Police and SA National parks to stop the illegal poaching syndicates that's threatening our national heritage in a alarming way because of lenient laws that suet the criminals.
I've been an ardent supporter of the DA ever since I was allowed to vote. Even though they failed in some instances, they persevered against all odds, often times being stonewalled by the ANC and the EFF. It's not their failures that defined them, but how they handled those failures. They're not perfect, but currently they're the best we have, all things considered.
@@albertsitoe7340 If you are referring to John Steenhuisen I would like to inform you that he is anything but useless.We are bound to see many positive and successful changes in the agricultural sector with him at the helm.I would have preferred it if he had been deputy president but I know that he will give of his best in whatever portfolio he has.
Great,well done to the new government, lets grow. Cool John, you a star, believe you love our country, governance for all the people. Long climb, many traps ahead, a load of work ahead. Like Branson said, Just do it.. Good luck ,health, spirit . Cheers To all crooked,lazy politicians,you fired. Haaa
Can we start with what happened recently before the elections when we saw a building collapse in the WC, those who worked there and perished were mostly undocumented foreigners employed by white construction company that got a tender from DA WC government.
