Solly Msimanga, DA Gauteng leader of the official opposition, has demanded that Gauteng Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC Jacob Mamabolo urgently intervene in Lesedi Local Municipality, where water shortages have forced Ratanda residents to walk 45 minutes to a cemetery to fetch water. Unrest last week left two people dead and the mayor's home set alight, with the crisis linked to Rand Water cutting bulk supply over an alleged R27-million municipal debt; the DA says Mamabolo has also ignored its June 24 complaint about Lesedi's defiance of a court order on its Property Valuation Roll.
DA mobilises national anti-crime marchMsimanga joined DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis in Gqeberha on July 8, 2026 for an anti-crime march themed "Catch, Convict, and Clean-up", demanding decentralised policing powers and passage of the SAPS Amendment Bill.
DA Gauteng rejects provincial budgetMsimanga earlier led the DA Gauteng caucus in voting against the 2026/27 provincial budget, citing cuts to Human Settlements and Quintile 5 schools funding under Premier Panyaza Lesufi's government.
