Democratic Alliance

The Democratic Alliance (DA) is a political party in South Africa formed in 2000, originally as a coalition of several smaller parties. It positions itself as a center-right party, advocating for liberal democratic values, good governance, and economic growth. The DA aims to represent a diverse population and promote policies that foster individual freedoms and social justice. It primarily opposes the African National Congress (ANC), which has been the dominant party since the end of apartheid. The DA seeks to address issues such as corruption, unemployment, and service delivery in South Africa's political landscape.
