THE DA’s march against rising costs of living kicked off in Butterworth, Eastern Cape on Wednesday, triggered by the recent fuel price hikes.
The party blamed the ANC’s neglect and incompetence as having resulted in the increasing deterioration of the living standards of South Africans, especially the poor and marginalised.
The DA chose to march in Butterworth because last month a young mother from this town allegedly took the lives of her three children, before killing herself, as she could no longer put food on the table.
The march is expected to be led by DA Eastern Cape Provincial Leader Andrew Whitfield, EC Provincial Chairperson Yusuf Cassim, Shadow Minister of Social Development Brigette Masango, Chief Whip of the Official Opposition, Siviwe Gwarube, Phesheya Kwenciba Constituency Leader Mlindi Nhanha, Alfred Nzo Constituency Leader Baxolile Nodada, EC Shadow MEC for Social Development Kobus Botha, and Provincial Spokesperson Georgina Faldtman.
