Your vote can win Gauteng

Note to editors: Mmusi Maimane launched the final phase of the DA's election posters in Ghandi Square, Johannesburg, today. The posters read: "Your vote can win Gauteng".

As we launch the final phase of the DA's election posters in Gauteng today, we stand on the doorstep of history.

With just 2 weeks until Election day all signs point to the closest election result in Gauteng's history.

Today our message to every person who believes in change is: Your vote can win Gauteng!

On 7 May we can make history by firing a corrupt government in Gauteng and hiring a new one.

Under Jacob Zuma the ANC has become corrupt from top to bottom. 

While so many people struggle to find jobs, Zuma's ANC have abandoned the promise of a better life for all.

A vote for the DA will send a message to the ANC. 

It will show them that we demand better: more jobs, less corruption and better services.

We need change in South Africa and the only way to get it is to show Zuma's ANC that we have had enough of their failure to create jobs.

Tomorrow we will send a clear message to this corrupt government in Gauteng when we lead thousands in a march on the Premier's Office in downtown Johannesburg.

Thousands will march in support of policies that create jobs and cut corruption in Gauteng. 

Tomorrow we will show this Premier that people have had enough of corruption and unemployment. 

We will march for support for entrepreneurs, internships for young people, title deeds to capitalize 220 000 families and against the ANC's job-killing e-tolls.

On 7 May we can bring these job creation policies into government in Gauteng.

Gauteng must be a place of hope for everyone who comes here in search of a better life.

Together we can bring jobs to Gauteng and it starts with every single person who is committed to change getting out to vote on 7 May.
