Winde has been premier for more than four years after the DA&#8217;s landslide victory in the 2019 elections.<\/p>\n<p>Both men regard the Western Cape, which they have governed since 2009, as a key battleground to increase their vote share. The aim is not only to get more votes in the province \u2013 traditionally a source of much of its overall support \u2013 but to also hold it up as an example of what the party believes it can replicate in other provinces and the national sphere.<\/p>\n<p>Steenhuisen and Winde said that the Western Cape\u2019s unemployment and murder rates had dropped.<\/p>\n<p>They attributed the decreasing murder rate to the provincial government&#8217;s partnership with the City of Cape Town in the Law Enforcement Advancement Plan (LEAP) programme.<\/p>\n<p>According to Steenhuisen, the province&#8217;s people gave them a majority.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is the difference,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Winde, too, stressed the importance of maintaining the party\u2019s outright majority in the Western Cape.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This province has shown South Africa that we can have hope in our beautiful land,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Steenhuisen, however, warned that victory was anything but certain.<\/p>\n<p>He said some opposition parties were working to reduce the DA\u2019s majority in the Western Cape rather than campaigning against the ANC.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the Patriotic Alliance, he said: &#8220;\u2018n Ander party is kop in een mus met the ANC. Hy dra \u2018n highlighter-groen hempie, maar onder is die ANC! (Another party is in cahoots with the ANC. They wear a highlighter green shirt, but underneath is the ANC!)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don\u2019t trust them; they are not to be trusted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Beware these small parties, people of the Western Cape,&#8221; Steenhuisen said. &#8220;Make sure we give Alan Winde and the DA a bigger majority.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the DA formed the Multi-Party Charter for South Africa with the IFP, ActionSA, FF Plus, Isanco, UIM, and Spectrum National Party. The aim is to establish a coalition government following next year\u2019s elections.<\/p>\n<p>This &#8220;moonshot pact&#8221; would most likely need the support of another party to push it beyond 50% to form a national government, and ActionSA has mooted the PA joining the pact.<\/p>\n<p>Steenhuisen said the PA does not meet the values and principles of the charter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is very clear that you have to have a commitment to the rule of law and the Constitution. You\u2019ve got to be anti-corruption. You&#8217;ve got to govern cleanly and accountably. You&#8217;ve got to ensure that you are non-racial, and you can\u2019t be in a relationship with the ANC and the EFF,\u201d Steenhuisen said.<\/p>\n<p>He referred to PA leader Gayton MacKenzie indicating that he would support ANC\/EFF-backed Johannesburg mayor, Al Jama-ah\u2019s Kabelo Gwamanda, in an upcoming motion of no confidence and the PA&#8217;s recent actions in Nelson Mandela Bay, saying these actions showed that they are aligned with the ANC and EFF.<\/p>\n<p>Steenhuisen said the charter was based on trust. While he trusted the partners in this pact, he couldn&#8217;t &#8220;say the same about the PA&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The DA is early out of the blocks in announcing its candidate for premier.<\/p>\n<p>A date for next year&#8217;s elections has not been set, but it will be between May and August and quite likely the latter part of that period due to the IEC having to prepare for the independent candidates participating for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the 2019 elections, the DA postponed the announcement of its candidate in September 2018. It later emerged that the then-party leader, Mmusi Maimane, considered being the candidate himself after the selection process was concluded. Winde, Bonginkosi Madikizela and David Maynier were understood to be the favourites.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Maimane reconsidered, and Winde was announced Western Cape premier candidate a few days later.<\/p>\n<p>Steenhuisen said they want people to know that Winde would continue in office.<\/p>\n<p>In the 2019 campaign, the devolution of police and rail services formed a key tenet of Winde\u2019s manifesto. While this faced staunch opposition from the ANC national government during his first term, it remains on the agenda for a second term.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would have already liked to have policing powers devolved to us, and I would have really liked Prasa and trains devolved to us. That fight will continue,&#8221; Winde told News24 shortly after his candidature was announced.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I think what we have shown, whether we got it or not, the difference in our policing model; that if you use data and evidence, you can drop the murder rate in our high crime areas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said it showed that their policies, when implemented, worked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd surely, that is what the electorate also takes note of,&#8221; said Steenhuisen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
