DA FEDERAL CONGRESS CAPE TOWN 2010


By Cllr. Francois Bekker
Public representatives and branch members from Pretoria attended the DA Federal Congress held in Cape Town on 24 and 25 July. It is exciting to see how the DA gears itself to becoming the leading political party promoting a genuine constitutional democracy with core values such as the rule of law. The DA firmly believes that only an Open Opportunity society will enhance the quality of life of all South Africans.
An ID/DA marriage seems imminent considering the warm reception ID leader Patricia de Lille had when she addressed the Congress. This proves the DA's commitment to realign the party political landscape of South Africa to stop the power abuse by the ANC.
Helen Zille was re-elected as Leader of the DA unopposed. Dr. Wilmot James was elected as the new Federal chairperson. The three deputy chairpersons are Anchen Dreyer (MP Gauteng), Dianne Kohler Barnard (MP KwaZulu-Natal) and Dr. Ivan Meyer ( Western Cape minister).
