IT'S all system goes for the DA's manifesto launch.
The party will host its manifesto at the Union Buildings in Tshwane on Saturday, 17 February, where thousands of people are expected to attend.
The manifesto event will start with a march from Church Square to the Union Buildings.
It said the march to the Union Buildings would signify their determination to usher in a new era of governance, bidding farewell to stagnation.
Briefing the media on Friday morning, 16 February, DA Federal Chairman Dr Ivan Meyer said this occasion tops the boundaries of a mere event, as it marks a movement of significant proportions, with the largest mobilisation effort in the history of the opposition party.
“Tens of thousands of DA supporters from every corner of South Africa will participate in the march from Church Square to the Union Buildings, showcasing an unprecedented level of enthusiasm.
“Notably, this broad-based support extends beyond our traditional strongholds, reflecting a groundswell of commitment from all the regions of our nation,” he said.

Meyer added that the massive turnout indicates enthusiasm among party supporters and ordinary South Africans to rally behind the DA.
He said anticipation is high for the most extensive march ever witnessed, with hundreds of buses converging from across the country, notably Gauteng.
“This is not merely a political gathering. It's a historic moment, a call for change, and a declaration of an intent to rescue South Africa.
“The DA's manifesto transcends mere promises. It's a meticulously researched, data-driven plan that addresses the current crises facing our nation.
“From tackling wasteful spending to addressing the electricity crisis, investing in education, and fostering economic growth, our manifesto outlines practical solutions," he said.
Meyer said they were calling for President Cyril Ramaphosa to announce the election date urgently.
“We believe the ANC has an unfair advantage in this regard, and it's time that all other parties and all South Africans know when the election will take place."
