Hon Speaker, the DA campaign to take over Gauteng was dealt a major blow by recent developments, where there was an exodus of councillors from the DA in Gauteng who defected to the ANC. Four councillors have already resigned to join the ANC and the other four are in the process of joining the ANC. Of the four DA councillors who have already defected, the two from Ekurhuleni were made known on February 11, the day of the DA's march to Luthuli House headquarters, and the others were announced on 27 February. [Interjections.] [Applause.]
