John Steenhuisen and DA delegates walk around Ward 28 handing out flyers
“Many South Africans are struggling to keep their heads above the water. This is going to push them below the surface and drive more people into poverty and unemployment,” he said. On Thurday, Steenhuisen sent a letter to the president, Cyril Ramaphosa, requesting an urgent meeting about Eskom and the country’s growing power crisis.DA has its on eyes Ward 28 and the entire municipality
Please keep roll by. Marching is not going to get the government working fast. Look at service delivery protest. It now so common that media dont report it. If myda does not understand how they are failing to mobilise blk SA. They should stop marching
FrontforSA maybe he must start by stopping the electricity levy certain households in Cape Town must pay.. thieves!!!!
Finally!!!!!! Someones steps in into this matter i fully support this protest its about time DA for the win!!!!!!
not only electricity tariffs DA but exorbitant price hikes in everything from way back in : electricity, water,food ,fuel ,government services that should be free, rates , condition of roads ,corruption and high salarys of corrupted senior public servants, laws to apply for all
Don’t forget to wear your fit bit & get your steps in John
Not just loadshedding..get rid of the ANC and the useless ministers from the ANC... and the HEAD OF STATE.... USELESS PEOPLE
Tell him he must voetsek! We got better things to do. Union Buildings or nothing
Its too hot to march anywhere!! These political parties must come up with alternative options.
FF+ had a meeting with Ramaphoza yesterday..let's see what he said about this crisis.
Fail to understand why can’t we March to union building where the government executive are sitting than marching to Lethuli house it doesn’t make any sense. DA should think about this. We as South African citizens we want to go union building.
That will be stupid oc me to do so! But I'm willing to March for another party.
Why dont you rather get support from the masses to save electricity every day and help the country
As long as black people see anyone else as an enemy we will stay in darkness because no matter how many elections we hold the anc or eff will always end on top even if they are starving to death they will still support the anc hence the poor education system to keep people dumb
Mostly people think that won't bring any change, convince them that will bring change before they join.U still have enough time to do so....1...2...3...Go....
And are you objecting to this call ?
If it's genuine mass action against electric then why areint they marching to Eskom .why march to ANC offices if its not a regime change agenda ?
When are we marching in Cape Town please?
If you'll not give me your blue t-shirt
What the DA and others should be doing is not wasting time on marches, petitions, and media grand standings which achieve zero. They should be talking with each other to amalgamatetheopposition in order to unseat the ANC with a united vote.
John should atleast register at a TVET college for a N diploma bathong
The system is corrupt. My opinion DA and EFF should lead
I didn’t see them taking action against those racist pool father
Buy a packet of chips and a t shirt you will get all the marchers you need.
Why does John look like he is marching quick quick to get that double brandy and coke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just get vaccinated first, please... Is that not what the DA promoted?
*March date: 02 February 2023 *Place : from Sunnighill Taxi rank to ESKOM offices in MEGAWATT Park *Time : 10H00*(Assemble) then 11H00 march to ESKOM offices (Between 10H00--13H00)
I repeat. The only resolution left to this ongoing predicament, is for South Africans to protest and march to Ministers’ homes, the President’s home, in a total invasion and destruction of their own. We can’t be speaking of Luthuli House and the Union Buildings.
Only on condition that nobody wears blue
He should put it straight and say he is calling on all black south African . Because in DA rally.s or protest I only see black south African . period
😒😒 forget about the Rainbow Nation, all of a sudden so many March initiatives, names like clever blks, us ad them mxm SA is a waste of time
Eskom if they check each an every house, out of 10 households 8 are illegally connected. That's another problem the country if facing. From shacks to rural areas same issue.
If we go to Union Building I'll join the march
Racists party
This will make a difference if all opposition parties march. Not just the DA
This is the time for All South Africans to stand together, irrespective of your political party. We are too divided. Citizens should stand together. Not one political party has made a difference with loadshedding, together as the people of SA we can.
We can join domkops mybe if it was malema we would join 😅
CapeIndependence is coming
Pointless exercise!
With you all the way
We will join .it's enough now !!!!! What are paying for ?
I won't march with any political party. They all puppets for the global parasites.
He must call DA members😏
....
Lool, RamaphosaMustFall
Can't we rather just sit at home and tweet. It is a form of protest. And we can march back and forth from our kitchens
I see the repeat of IFP march to Lithuli House....
Can John Steenhuisen pls tell SAns how he can solve this power crisis. Ramaphosa wants to privatize Eskom or part of it, he intends to bring in independent producers into the grid what's the DA 's alternative to this ? Political brinkmanship and posturing won't solve the problem
No
What is really the point in marching and toi toiying. You march in the heat, you make noise outside, hand in a letter of demands, go home and nothing actually gets done. ANC don't care.
Ngathi he is going to steal more land ndiworidi !!
Protest to ANC headquarter is not protesting against electricity. .just be claire
We need so many marches.... I think we are beyond the point of any return...
Then don’t whine about load shedding
Ask the Eff and the other useless party's to join in , you are so exclusive, time to join together now
Its great seing that they are learning and picking up some stance from the Mighty EFF
I often see the DA making fun of EFF and calling them cult and all sorts of names when they march. In fact EFF has been marching against loadshedding. what is the difference with this now?
Rubbish
South Africa must rise. The MYANC must fall
the DA thinks black people are stupid🙄
Da dakiwe
These ones are crazy, instead of March to the Union buildings they want us to go to the ANC headquarters
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂marching to eskom ?
Supportive but not at ANC HQ. That's provocation that may lead to retaliation as happened during previous marches
We want cyril gone with immediate effect
Marching to Luthuli house is pointless let's they should march to the Union buildings 😄 they are trying so hard to hide the failures of their golden boy CyrilRamaphosa
Someone tell these clows to stay away from Luthuli House...
Remember to bring a gas mask (ask a spraypainter), and wear eye protection against the gas canisters. I'll be there and If they fire tear gas, we will use it against them. Bring dustbin lids or anything you can use as a shield against rubber bullets. Let's show them something...
Just call 🤙on the DA Our_DA members and supporters. Most South Africans supports the ANC. Let's see what happens at the 2024 General Elections. We plan to return the ANC with a bigger majority and there will be no coalition government.
Haai fok man who is following a grade 10?
Why don’t he go alone🤷♂️
Does he have enough Power banks for everyone participating in the March? If not… Thank you, we pass🥱
And also the cancellation of stage 4,5,6 loadshedding
Nearly replied but let me shush
When, where?
Might as well add “land expropriation” to the agenda since they two parties will be together.
Count me in John
Thatha wena John
Kanti who deployed those caders working at Eskom now?
Ngifuna ukuyi bona leMarch..ukuthi ugesi uzobuya nah?
He has called on ALL South Africans! ALL! Some of the comments are ridiculous! Come on people, it's time to pull together for change!
John Steenhuisen has no qualifications, he should just voetsak.
We must take them to task if court let's donate nndo that marching won't stop loadshading. It proves DA also have no solution
Gaining political milage at the cost of the people, and business already struggling. What good will a mass march do?. Just negatively impacting those who are already struggling to keep head above.... Nothing different from what the ANC is doing.....
When are we going to March for water, infrastructure, education, investment in the country, health, poverty, people ? Can we get rid of politics in totality at all ? I’m sure there are better alternatives.
This he must forget, he failed to remove Ramanko on phaala phaala
Is it possible to get enough people together in this country to request the departure of the current ANCNationalConference government? Since, their only interest is enriching their own arses and not investing the funds on SouthAfrican
If John and his people said they will march to Union buildings i would have gladly joined but to go to Lithuli hayi khona they are over doing it even EFF have never done that
DA can march with those who support them. Same DA did not even condemn the Swimming Pool Racism incident which occurred Masseldorp recently. I would never march in solidarity with the DA for any course
If you don’t protest, you deserve to have no electricity.
We will join the streets the day DA is vocal in the issue of racism, until then brown skin people will not join,you marched against Zuma while we were paying less electricity no load shedding you used media to spread lies against him.
He should invite more political parties to get involved .. this concern .the whole country
This man is very confused March to Nersa not ANC office
They're marching against the increases not loadshedding from Eskom.. 🤣 🤣 🤣 Once that useless Eskom ceo is out of office they will start attacking Eskom. Watch!
DA becoming defenders of the down trodden..? Or is it, they are fighting black led government...since they have this condescending white superiority notion in the ranks...? Is the march going to NERSA offices..?
Thanks baas for the permission,the natives can finally march
Whatever for?
They can March with clever blacks
It's amazing the amount of racism coming from the blacks in their responses to this article not realizing that this white man is trying to stop this for all our sakes. No wonder this country is going to the dogs.
Can somebody explain to us why one the oldest power stations is running correctly with very few outages,compared to brand new power stations that regularly break down?clue,President says the reason for regular outages is poor maintanace of power stations?what about corruption?!?
What mass action?Electricity was the white privilege,now the whites face the same hardship that was a permanent feature of the blacks,how I wish only whites were subjected to this loadshedding,especially those that supported apartheid like John Esthysen,whatever he is called
Is he going to offer marchers placards depicting the image of the Prince of Darkness?
Bazicelela induku laba abasayazi I Union building ingakuphi
Tricks of rigging the 2024 elections we will never go if it's the DA organising the March the black stooges and the old ladies must go and it must be no work full pay like the famous one👇👇👇
Is this not an opportunistic political move.. Gaining political milage through other peoples dillema
But they can't march against the incompetent Andre de ruyter because he is white
Mabayokunya. Mabaqhanqalaze bodwa
We can run our own marches like we have always been doing including marches against apartheid by white people. No settler will ever tell me to march
Gasligting...
DA is attacking the ANC why they don't march to Union building
SABC STOP reporting nonsense 🚮🚮🚮🚮 John Steenhuisen is saying we must march to Luthuli House for electricity tariff increases and Loadshedding? Rubbish
We gonna go rol?
You will never know how much your kindness, support, love and encouragement means to me thank you.❤️ Brandonkaren11 for helping me through your Bitcoin mining investment platform.
This country need the youth to run it not old worn out people. All this old guys must go retire let the youth take over.
If you march to deport all illegal foreigners out of SA, A LOT would change. Eskom won't be heavily overloaded by illegal connections in shacks anymore. All the shacks must go.
Wen it suits him he wants Black support wanyela. Now becuase Ryter us leaving they want to toyi toyi all along they didnt see nothing
White people only like Africans when they can use them.
So basically Our_DA who sits with the ANC of Luthuli House in parliamentary portfolio committees. Rather than confronting their colleagues in these committees they are going to make a show for us. Show us they can March to a building. We are in sh*t as a country.
Leon_Schreib Down with the ANC. VoetsekANC
Kushisa kabi in Johannesburg asizi
If this will bring electricity. We desperately need it. Implementation
On this one I sympathize with DA.
I want to c how many white people wl join the march or they wl use blacks as usual then they watch from tv at their comfort zones
Asizi
DA must be clear what is their stand actually
I'm really grateful for all the efforts you have render to me with my little investment of R5000 and with joy over me after withdrawing R60,000 with your help Lisa_berry77 thank you for everything you have done for me and my family Lisa_berry77
Leon_Schreib Hear hear
Surely there is more they can do than this
Eskom belongs to the citizens of SA, not the government. That is what a state enterprise is, to prtect the citizens. The citizens (customers) should decide its management, pricing policies etc. There should be transparency. Not the few in the government. They are all corrupt.
The ANC is horrible the DA stands for Disaster Awaiting please please fellow citizens dont say i ddnt warn all of you...
John is becoming the white Juluis no solutions what wil that strike bring to an ordinary South African instead poor people wil loose a day's salary and he wil be in Houtbay sipping on OOMTAAS.
Zuma goes to prison the country burns, no electricity 10 hours a day and we do nothing. Our logic is so messed up it's scary, when did looking after your own best interests become taboo.
Let all opposition parties boycott Sona
You may not agree with DA but we all have a common problem and that's eskom
Azikhale... if it was good for the goose, it must be good for the gander... PhalaPhalaFarmGate ...
Interesting that the party that criticises mass action now wants to deploy it...we need investigative and punitive action. The DA is in a position to influence these decisions...but they persist in grandstanding...a 'classic' liberal party wanting to use mass action? Go figure.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👎👎👎👎👎
Why does this guy with no airtime keep trying to make calls?
Asizi.
Protest don't work with this terrorist anc. You need to stop the flow of taxes or burn some shit.
I like the picture more. It says a lot.
You DA don't support other parties
