By Ald Cilliers Brink
DA Tshwane Mayoral Candidate

DA Tshwane Mayoral Candidate Cilliers Brink officially launched the DA’s election pledges at the Mamelodi West Community Centre, setting out a clear and actionable plan to get South Africa’s Capital City working again.

Addressing residents, community leaders and members of the media, Brink outlined five focused pledges aimed at fixing failing services, restoring accountability and rebuilding a city that works for all who live in it.

*To get Tshwane working, the DA will deliver five pledges in five years:*

1.⁠ ⁠Fire corrupt officials and tenderpreneurs and hire honest, hard-working professionals.

2.⁠ ⁠Restore law and order by deploying crime-fighting technology including drones, CCTV cameras, and a metro police control room.

3.⁠ ⁠Upgrade electricity, water, roads and public lighting through private partnerships.

4.⁠ ⁠Utilise assets like municipal power stations, the fresh produce market, and the Wonderboom airport to attract investment and create jobs.

5.⁠ ⁠Work with well-organised local communities to make neighbourhoods clean and safe.

These pledges are practical commitments that will deliver measurable improvements in the daily lives of residents.

They form the foundation of the DA’s offer to voters a credible plan to restore service delivery, rebuild infrastructure, root out corruption, fight crime and get Tshwane working again.
