#RescueSA #ElectionResults
AS A BLACK SOUTH AFRICAN I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE Mr STEENHUIZEN AS MY PRESIDENT. THIS PARTY IS NOT DISRUPTIVE AND IS VERY PROGESSIVE. IT DOESN’T INCITE VIOLENCE AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT IT IS CAPABLE OF CREATING A BEAUTIFUL SOUTH AFRICA AGAIN
WELL SAID THANK YOU
Thank you for that. I wish the majority of our fellow South Africans can see past colour be brave and look to the future and not allow the past to suffocate the present.
That’s why l voted for them, there is light.Unfortunately ,our Black SA used emotions and race when it comes to the voting system forgetting about the future, sad 😢
I second your thought
Well said. Thank you for saying what we all want to say. I wish that all South Africans voted for the health and wellbeing of South Africa and South Africans and not along party or colour lines.
As a bystander Kenyan, I feel like most educated South Africans voted for the DA
Nope they didn’t vote (42%)
@@ayandazulu8014 What he is saying is that the DA voter base is educated and make thoughtful choices.
@@spandel100 he is totally wrong then
@@spandel100 a lot of them are just puppets
Another great vote would have been ActionSA
Time to put the country first
With America do you really think so.
I despise the ANC... but for the sake of the country... the ANC and the DA working together is infinitely better than ANC with EFF and/or MK running the show.
Remember DA was opposition to NP and friends with Mandela
@@mayrajoo3515 and your point is?
Well, DA + MK + EFF + IFP + PA = NO ANC. if you despise the ANC that much.
how is it better?
@@naturegirl51 they understand each other
My heart breaks for my country💔
Such a great country
The ANC gave freedom, and took it again
I pray that God will save South Africa🙏🇿🇦
AMEN AND AMEN ✝️
Amen and Amen
Amen! In God we trust
Home is where your ancestors csme from
@@yahphirah182… Black supremacist racist! I bet you’re a Malema supporter too. Shame on you!
It will be a great feeling if only this was my President....
With the DA at the helm, South Africa will be in good hands
How old are u, u sound like u where not there, born free shout yor mouth, nd listen to yor grandmother, am sure u can learn something
True
Not a damn
@djkelly, get over urself.. and move forward. SA needs fixing.
LOL Bro are you still stuck in the past. Move on man, we are not the same people that ruled back then. Grow up and move forward@@DjKellyz04Tv
Can't help thinking that the remaining 42% who didn't go vote, could have made even a bigger difference to the outcome and that DA could have won more seats.
True... welcome to planet 'i dont care about the future'
Obviously those people who didn't vote, just couldn't be bothered standing in the que or if turned away vote where they were before. I was turned away, however I stood my ground at Northwood School and told the IEC I was not leaving until i cast my vote, as it turns out I won.. Just hope they don't winge on facebook when things go wrong.
It's the only reason for stupid losing the majority.
Or it could have gone South. If we "re-vote" the results may surprise all of us.
They were silly not to go 😮😮 now they either gonna look suffering in the eye or they going to enjoy the changes in this country 😜😁
I am mother of two daughters and a son and two grandchildren, whom I love with my whole heart. I have family and friends whom I love dearly. On 29 May, I got up very early and asked God to help me to decide whom I should cast my vote to. I knew which party would get the most votes, but I wasn't afraid. I love my country and my people of South Africa so much, regardless of colour, race or faith. We are all beautiful in the sight of God. Make our country great, with no racism, favouritsm, corruption. Treat each other equally. I voted for DA because I have hope in you, Mr Steenhuisen. Make us a proud nation.
The da is smart...
Sa wil pik up soon bcz da is standing up..
DA will bring back our South African family and friends. I pray for my children to come home. DA all the way 🙏
Not gonna happen

What other options are there? @@Pietie811
@@Pietie811 And how is that so bad? You do not see the opportunity that holds. by doing so it means they can secure more important roles in government therefore keep a closer eye on the ANC and have a better position to make the country better. Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is a friend, yes the ANC is corrupt but they do not want to take your freedom and rights away like the MK and EFF does. do not just judge the outcome of the book by the cover art but look a bit into it before you judge it. There are far worse coalitions that can be formed that can spell greater disaster for the country than a DA and ANC coilition.
@@Pietie811They are gonna supervise the ANC like naughty toddlers. I prefer this. Have the DA babysit and get rid of the corruption from the inside
Praise JESUS CHRIST. ALL the CHURCHES were Praying Big time.
🙏
We need to keep praying, we are not out of the woods yet.
Where did they pray? And which churches? Throughout the run up to the elections the churhes where very quite. Very few political parties place God first and then their agendas in any case.
Amen
What prayer money has and is exchanging hands even as we write.......bribes making huge waves between these actors and we are clapping to the music
If the DA leaders show humble but strong visionary leadership, they could pull off a decent coalition with the ANC
Can't you say the same about ANC? A coalition is 2 ways.
True 💯.DA can be a great coalition partner in RSA.
The ANC must do the same. It takes both to make it work...
Please the anc are rot how could they go into a coalition with corrupt ones 😮
Only if ANC leaders accept jail time where foundr guilty of corruption and other crimes
We'll stand together ❤️ for the sake of South Africa
Thank you, John, and the DA, for your sterling effort...
Sad how few people vote rationally for good governance...
Don't differentiate between colour or social treat all God's creation with equity & fairness.True to blue!
DA ons het jul nodig om S.A te red vir ons kinders en kleinkinders en almal wat vir jul gestem het johan steenhuisen ons soek jou as ons president
The DA is the only party that have equal black, coloured and white voters. A vote for the EFF, MK or PA, is a vote for the ANC.
Amen very true
God Bless South Africa

don't make this statement or criticize without suggesting a solution
Ya it’s frightening how many South Africans think communism is a good idea 😂😂
@@naturegirl51 removal of any party who dont get atleast 5% national vote.
Mandatory political test during voting registration...if you want to vote you need to have some knowledge on the policies of the parties involved, not to post on social media or just to say you voted because there is a right choice and a wrong choice and the wrong choice will affect everyone
This is true.Careful what you wish for...a vote is very powerful and can have untold consequences.
Split south Africa
Yes DA ANC IFP will be ok and John vice president if they don't want to remove Ramaposa

This is Ramaphosa, s second term I don't trust his deputy to succeed him Remember what happened at Nasrec when he wanted Mkhize
That would be good

Congratulations. As a Kenyan I'm proud to see ''minority interests " are actually centre stage 30 years after what I consider South Africa's 'true independence '. I wish to see the day my fellow Africans even tried to prioritise the "majority" who still seem like second class citizens in their own country.
We thank God for what He is doing now, S A really needs help and God intervention Da I s an answer to us now
We don't want Cyril as president please John, the guy is weak and spineless. Get someone neutral like Vusi Thembekwayo, atleast he is respected by big business and the poor; which is mostly black. Just an opinion.
U think ANC will agree 😂
You are right, the guy is good in everything he do 😊
Cup cake was better than zuma
Mogoeng Mogoeng is also an option here....
Please not Rama
Those that didn't vote should be ashamed
Some of us have been targeted before in the past because of majority rule where ANC is dominant.

Awesome!! Well done John Steenhuisen and the DA❤
Well done democrat
Well done where. He has the same amount of votes as DA git in 2019 with a 0.94% increase which comes from the 1% loss by FF+. So I really don't understand what us being celebrated. Count ANC, EFF and MKP and you have 63% of total votes. Add PA and it goes over 66%. So either John really can't count or his white priviledge is working for him as Mmaimane was sacked despite doing better with gaining votes
Steenhuisen lost votes because of his stupidity and cringe pro Ukraine anti Russian stance.
I stand for DA we are tight of Anc
South Africa, Let LOVE lead us. Together no matter what, we can hold hands and be the nation we have always meant to be. Let us be the united people in this time no matter who we voted for. Let us be a praying nation.
Thank you very much
I love South Africa and South Africans. May the spirit of Madiba and Tutu steer us out of corruption, greed and the misery it has bestowed on the children and families that deserve better, together. Together!
Madiba and Tutu have always been my heroes, they are greatly missed. I also miss Johnny Clegg who united South Africans in his own way. In all of their memories, and the memories of other brave South Africans who have dared to inspire us to be better, it is beyond time to set aside race and tribalism and come together for the greater good of all South Africans.
Thank you for keeping western cape Town clean and the roads is perfect God bless you always 🙏

DA must just beware not to become woke. .
I am very worried about this country. The way the majority of SA’ns voted is scary. We need to find a way to ensure that the constitution is maintained, protected and acted upon in an honest and ethical way.
The only way to get the majority to pivot is to demonstrate rapid change and improvement that they can relate to , and see . Manifestos are not much use to many who can't read for meaning , so policies should have been communicated verbally in thier language .
My thoughts exactly.
@@hedleyfurio Exactly. I was pretty sure the MPC would not gain a majority. My hope was that the DA + partners would be able to see some increase in their footprint, e.g. to win provincial leadership in Gauteng, so they can demonstrate how they can govern together to more South Africans, and improve their lives. A national coalition with the ANC would be even better. As hard as an ANC-MPC coalition will surely be, and with the ANC having more MPs, my hope that the DA and friends will be able to exert enough leadership and influence to start turning things around in other parts of the country. South Africans deserve better.
When all is said and done remember that just 1 in 5 South Africans voted for prosperity, good governance and law and order this week. After 30 years one can no longer excuse our collective ignorance. More hard times are still ahead it would seem.
Actually very sad.
The DA isn't perfect hey. We should all learn more about every party.
Unlike malemas confrontational approach this guy is a leader with a distance
He will never be a leader. Beyond stupidity. Listen to his speeches.dom as a door nail.
Let's fix what Zuma, and
The ANC
Messed up by corruption and theft
So weird the blacks support them I sometimes think they just support the opposite of what whites support out of spite. It’s really silly , us humans are just silly really. Like if I say don’t jump in the fire and someone is like oh ya watch this 😂
@@gstar3569tribalism. That's why they let their tribal leaders sell them into slavery. Can't fix stupid unfortunately
Fix what the apartheid did as well
@@ayandazulu8014agree we have to learn to unite as one.
How ? the ANC is still in rule, combined with the MK and EFF.
Dear God,
As the election results are announced, we ask that you grant wisdom, calmness, and restraint to all individuals involved, especially Zuma MK members.
Help them to accept the outcome with grace and humility, regardless of the results. May they refrain from violence, destructive behavior, and harmful language.
Instead, may they choose to peacefully express their opinions, respect the democratic process, and honor the will of the people.
We pray for a peaceful and harmonious transition, and for your guidance and protection over all.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Beautiful - thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Amen
Praying for the leaders of DA and for our beautiful country. GOD HELP THE LEADERS MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS.🙏
Mr John Steenhuisen, you and your other leaders have worked SO hard for all of us, and we appreciate every drop of sweat and tears.
Please give yourself and the other DA leaders a bit of a breather. We know you need it, and we also know that you will be stronger after a short rest to carry on the good fight for all the people of South Africa
We shall cover you and the land with our strong prayers...
Thank you so much John Steenhuisen and your team for trying your best to RESCUE South Africa.I Appreciate!!💙🇿🇦🌈

I sincerely hope that the electrical outages over large parts of Gauteng from 1pm this afternoon and still going on, will be the very last time we as DA supporters and DA voters will have to endure freezing cold without electricity and no way to cook food or cook water for hot drinks and hot water bottles to stay warm. It is extremely urgent. Please take on the electrical crisis first. Last year May we were the whole month without electricity even though we have a prepaid meter in our home as millions others also have. We have put our trust in the DA because we know you deliver and you care.
Shame man. Prayers to you for the end of that.....
The grid is NOT designed along party lines...stop exposing yourself and start thinking like a normal human being 🤮
I urge you strongly to do some research on whos responsibility it is to ensure your area has electricity. I am struggling to understand why you want the DA to help you when its up to Eskom?

DA WILL RESCUE SA
To rescue someone or entity does not mean getting them off the mountain or rescuing them from the water it is
means much more than that.
The list of needs are endless here in South Africa.
It's like wearing different size on each foot.
Lopsided and impeding the stride in fluency.
What are the immediate necessities.
By looking at the needs of a newly wed couple starting out in life and South Africa is starting from a virtual failed state hence your battle cry of rescue
So .
Here are my list of
Priorities.
Housing .
Employment.
Transport.
Health.
Education
Further Education .
Recreation
Freedom
Of movement .
Association.
Travel.
Religion.
Aged care.
Frail care.
Crime.
Punishment .

Safety.
Security.
Only God can do it
By jumping in bed with ANC!!!!

This is moment we have waiting for. To be led by born leaders not comrades.The Lord has listened to our cries.I salute you big John.South Africa for the South Africans.Long live DA.
Unfortunately, I don't see any political parties working with Helen Zille. She was a great leader but like all of the older generation in politics, we need younger leaders.
A DA / ANC coalition will ONLY work if the DA is allowed to appoint the following key positions: The "Speaker of the House" minister of Finance; minister of Police; minister of Justice and Correctional services and demand the total demolishment of BEE and the NHI as well as approval to initiate a program to privatise ALL SOE's over the next 5 years.
NHI is a long term thing, the DA will have to compromise, BEE has to go i agree with that, i believe it's dangerous to sell off our SOE's we just need effective management, yes the Police and Correctional Services need a change of Management and the Hawks must be totally independent from SAPS and should act directly under the arm of the NPA, i would definitely appoint an independent inside Treasury as it would be neutral from the DA or ANC.
I disagree about privatizing stuff. I think we just need no corruption. Our private sector is just as corrupt. In who's ever hands it doesn't matter if there aren't proper checks and balances.
Also I think that private industry is inefficient for public goods or needed goods. Private industry's main goal is profit. That's means those who can't afford it don't get. Which is fine for like coffee, or sushi, or whatever... not so fine for electricity or insulin...
Corruption is the main enemy, not SOEs.
wa nyela. We will go to war if the ANC dares to underestimate the need to correct the wrongs of the past and allow white supremacy in this Africa. BEE goes no where
@@SA_Barbie Who is we? So the Tenderpreneurs that take Taxpayers Monies to drive Expensive Cars and Drink Expensive Champagne? Are you supporting that?

May God help and guide our leaders as they make these important choices
Thank Mr. President for always putting South Africans FIRST and taking us into your confidence by letting us know what the way forward is for the DA. God Bless you and God Bless the DA!
