The Democratic Alliance (DA)\u2019s mayoral candidate for Ekurhuleni, Ghaleb Cachalia, launched the Battleground Ekurhuleni phase of his election campaign at the Germiston Civic Centre, on July 27.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I embarked on this journey as the DA\u2019s mayoral candidate for this great metro, I was excited and passionate about bringing meaningful change for all who live and work here,\u201d he said.<\/p>
\u201cI am confident to say that the DA momentum in Ekurhuleni has never been stronger.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we enter the final stages of the election campaign, we are launching the last push towards victory.<\/p>
\u201cWe have identified key battleground wards in each community which will be the scene of the fiercest competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf these battleground wards come out in their numbers and they vote for change, Ekurhuleni will be fully in play between the DA and the African National Congress (ANC).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will be campaigning all out in these wards and their respective communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom Daveyton to Duduza, Tsakane, Vosloorus and Tembisa, we will be intensifying our activities, ramping up our door-to-door campaigns, community meetings and street meetings.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo the residents of Ekurhuleni: your vote can make a difference to the way our metro goes forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cachalia also promised interaction with the communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo longer will residents have a mayor who is disconnected from the communities who form the backbone of Ekurhuleni,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey will have a mayor who will deliver on his promises and will not only listen, but act.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll we need is five years to deliver on our promises of better services and a corruption-free government that delivers on its promises and, if we don\u2019t deliver, vote us out.\u201d<\/p>\n
