Rodgers elected new DA KZN leader
There is a new leader at the helm of the Democratic Alliance in the province.
The party hosted its provincial congress at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre yesterday.
Over 500 delegates took to voting stations electing Francois Rodgers as KZN's new provincial leader.
Rodgers succeeds the outgoing Zwakele Mncwango and said it's only the DA who can change the state of the country.
"If you look a the state of our country and our municipalities you see that if it's not due to the DA then it will not change. So it is up to every single on of us to put ourselves on the map going through 2021", he said.
Chris Pappas was elected as deputy leader and Dean Macphearson landed the role of provincial chairperson.
Macphearson said the congress served to unify the province.
"This congress, I believe, has brought the province together in a very unique way and as the leadership we will work together to build the DA brand and take the party forward in KZN", he said.
