The DA have announced their candidates for the 14 Makana wards in the May 18 local elections.

The DA have announced their candidates for the 14 Makana wards in the May 18 local elections.

In a statement, the party said it was notable that all its candidates had alternative sources of income. While this presented some problems in their availability for meetings, it meant they were not solely dependent on the party for their livelihood.

The DA's candidate nomination process involved local branches identifying potential candidates among their membership and encouraging them to apply to become candidates. These potential candidates had to submit CVs, undergo interviews and be assessed in terms of their fitness for the job.

The DA candidates are:
Ward 1: Assumption Clinic, Riebeeck East, Carlisle Bridge, Koonap Hall, Committees Drift and Douglas Heights Candidates: Revd Wilson Booi. Employed: D&A Timbers
Ward 2: Ntletbi School, Noluthando Hall Candidate: Xolani Mvula. Employed: Fort England Hospital
Ward 3: Graeme College, Mary Waters High School Candidate: Marcelle Booysen. Employed: Justice Department
Ward 4: St Aidan's Complex, Albany Road Recreation Hall Candidate: Lena May. Employed: Ellerines
Ward 5: Mayfield Clinic, Utd Apostolic Church in Africa Candidate: Wilfred Appolis. Self-Employed: Photographer
Ward 6: Indoor Sports Centre, Nombulelo School Candidate: Koleka Tsili. Self-employed: Traditional Healer Ward 7: Tantyi Hall, Samuel Ntsiko School. Candidate: Mvuleni J Booi. Pensioner
Ward 8: Nathaniel Nyaluza School, Hill St Library Hall Candidate: Brian Jackson. Self-employed: Tourism consultant
Ward 9: Nombulelo School, Fikizolo School Candidate: Xolani Madyou. Employed: DA branch secretary
Ward 10: Tantyi Hall, BB Zondani Hall Candidate: Nomalungelo "Nopinki" Matya. Employed: teacher
Ward 11: Ntsika School, Benjamin Mahlasela School Candidate: Simphiwe Lonzi. Employed: Security Officer Ward 12: Rhodes Theatre Candidate: Brian Fargher. Employed: Director, Gadra Education
Ward 13: Vukani (tent), Salem Club Hall, Manley Flats Sports Club, Frasers Camp Shop, Collingham School, Gardners Gate, Farmerfield School Candidate: Jessica Walton. Employed: Nurse
Ward 14: Transriviere Hall (Alicedale), Sidbury Hall, Severnfountains Sports Club, Highlands School Candidate: Donavan Bruintjies. Self-employed: Taxi driver

The DA's proportional representation list had yet to be finalised, the party said, but it anticipated that Cllr Les Reynolds, the branch chairman and local leader, would be No 1 and Cllr Xolani Madya No 2. The composition of their proportional representation list aimed for representation of all sections of the community (ethnic, gender, urban and rural) on the new Council, the party said.
