What we are doing is state building out of the ashes of state capture. Do if you live in a broken municipality and if you thought your community\u2019s problems were unfixable; I am here to deliver a message of hope to you for the first time in our country\u2019s democracy, there is a party that has demonstrated at municipal, provincial and now at national level that it can fix the problems that others created and have long since given up on,\u201d adds Schreiber.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related video| Party aims to sharpen its policy position in the GNU<\/strong><br \/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DA Federal Congress | Party aims to sharpen its policy position in the GNU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m7ZAVCXsUYw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\ude80 Big moments are set to unfold at the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DAcongress2026?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">#DAcongress2026<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>SA deserves a government that works.

Understanding that simply because people have stopped voting for the ANC, it\u2019s not an automatic choice that they\u2019re going to automatically vote for you. So, we\u2019ve got to find ways in saying, while you may have given up on the ANC to bring about the change that you want, what is it that we are offering activists to break down simple meet to Ogogo from the rural areas? And so, they may be obvious, the conversation in the party that we need to have, at a leadership level, but also at a rural structure level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DA Federal Congress | &quot;We need to grow as the DA beyond our margins&quot;: Gwarube\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zqr94tAvbv4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>                    <!--begin code --><\/p>\n<p>                    <!--end code --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#DAs #role #GNU #fix #problems #service #delivery #Schreiber #SABC #News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic Alliance (DA) MP Leon Schreiber says that the party\u2019s role in the Government of National Unity (GNU) is to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":55727,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55726"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55726\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55728,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55726\/revisions\/55728"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
