Get ready for ‘blue tsunami’‚ Maimane tells Midvaal voters

Come August 3‚ Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane believes the party will increase its majority in Midvaal.

Speaking at the launch of the DA’s election manifesto for the Gauteng municipality on Saturday‚ Maimane said on the same day the party will “push the ANC to below or around 50% in the metros of Tshwane and Johannesburg”.

“It is at this point that we will go from having a foot in the door to shoving the whole door wide open and bringing DA-led local governments to more parts of Gauteng.

“We will do the same in Nelson Mandela Bay‚ in the Eastern Cape‚ by which time the blue wave will become a blue tsunami‚” the DA leader predicted. “Come 2019‚” he added‚ “enough people will have experienced the DA difference where they live to vote this corrupt government of Jacob Zuma out of office for good.

“And then begins our hard work of undoing the damage and turning our country around.

“I‚ for one‚ cannot wait to roll up my sleeves and get stuck in.”
